Platform iOS Describe the feature you'd like to see Hi 👋 When inspect Swiftfin's network traffic to the server I noticed it does unauthenticated requests for /Video, e.g.: /Videos/f4a0b1c2d3e5c4b8a9e6f7d8e9a0b1d4/stream?mediaSourceId=2f0340563593c4d98b97c9bfa21ce24f&playSessionId=e3a869b7a901f8894de8ee65688db6c0&static=true&tag=J3wen7c44lC5rRKFo9Hb did not appear to include an apikey or authorization header.
