Can't launch when username and password in URL

Help & Support
1

Hey guys - love the app but have a slight problem. When I launch NzbDrone in Chrome using servername:8989 I have no trouble after supplying my username and password through the normal authentication dialog box. However if I pass the logon detail through in the URL like this : username:password@servername:8989 I get the following errors:
app.js : 4
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘version’ of undefined
jquery.js : 8143
Uncaught TypeError: Object [{0}] {1} : {2} has no method ‘format’

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

Due to how the authentication is done this is currently not supported. I know where and why its failing, but don’t have a good solution to resolve it.
