Describe the bug

When authenticating to a 10.7rc1 server, you get back a user id in the form or a GUID with dashes.

While if you authenticate to a 10.6.4 and lower server, you get back a user id in a string with no dashes

The only currently known issue with this is that the Kodi Sync Queue plugin is not working with the dash version. But there may be breakage or unintended side effects in other clients.

System (please complete the following information):

Virtualization: Docker
Clients: Kodi
Jellyfin Version: 10.7.0-rc1
Installed Plugins: Kodi Sync Queue

To Reproduce

See json payload after authenticating

Expected behavior

If we maintain our "no api breakage for 10.7 stance, it will need to be changed to the no-dash version.
