FPP Settings dropdowns not populating

[jacksonho]

Hi all,

I am running into issues with some of the FPP settings drop downs not populating. Some are working but some are not, for example In can't see the below
Audio Output Device
Default Video Output Device
RTC
TimeZone

Apache logs seem to indicate an error, any idea how to solve this? It is throwing my config off because I can't select a time server for example

No matter, I sorted it myself. I disabled the UI password and it worked.

What version of FPP.  This was fixed in 6.1.

Hi, I was originally on 6.0 but upgraded to 6.2 via the web interface. It was still an issue until I took away the UI password option. I re-enabled it just then and now it works fine. Perhaps it was a carry over issue from 6.0 and needed to be checked on and off to fix it?

Is there a specific reason you are even enabling the UI Password? That is typically not the preferred method. This does not provide you any type of security and is similar to putting a lock on your fridge in case someone breaks into your house.
