Signed URLs working, but not when "Require Signed URLs" is turned on

Hi All,
We have implemented signed URLs for our Cloudflare stream videos using the python client tool:

Arbington/python-cloudflare-stream/blob/main/python_cloudflare_stream/client.py#L186-L205


      
          def get_signed_url(self, cloudflare_video_uid: str) -> str:
              """
              If a video requires a signed URL, then sign it and return the signed link. Usually you would use:
              https://iframe.videodelivery.net/{cloudflare_video_uid} to stream a video. But with a signed URL, you would use:
              https://iframe.videodelivery.net/{client.get_signed_url()} - replacing the normal uid with a signed UID.
          
          
    Signed videos are valid for 60 minutes by default.
          
          
        :cloudflare_video_uid       str         The Video UUID provided by Cloudflare
                  :return                     str         Returns the signed token whih should replace the cloudflare_video_uid
                                                          when attempting to stream a video.
              """
              url = f"https://util.cloudflarestream.com/sign/{cloudflare_video_uid}"
              data = {
                  "id": self.SIGNING_TOKEN,
                  "pem": self.PEM,
                  "exp": int(time.time() + (60 * 60)),
              }
              res = requests.post(url, json=data)
              return res.text

They work great, but only if “Require Signed URLs” is turned off for that video.
As soon as we turn on “Require Signed URLs”, we see the message “You don’t have permission to view this video”.

Is there a bug here or might we have missed something?
Many thanks!

@zaid, @renan do you know if this is / was a bug, or has been fixed? We are hoping to revisit this implementation shortly.
Many thanks!
