511 Network Authentication Required

You need to sign in to the network first.

What it means

Sent by captive portals, such as hotel or airport Wi-Fi, not by the API you called.

What your client should do

Open a browser and complete the network login.

Should you retry?

Only after you change the request.

Open /api/play/status/511

Defined in RFC 6585. All status codes and headers
