Post subject:  Mythweb Streaming Password

I'm on a fresh install of 5.5 (and loving it - thanks Cecil et al) and the latest VLC (0.8.6i currently)

When I click the stream icon in 'Recorded Programs' in MythWeb, I use VLC to open the ASX which promptly presents for a username and password. I get this horrible feeling I'm missing something, but have been searching various sources for an hour now - what should the login details for this be?

None of the users I setup during the install work (up to and including root) - I just get prompted repeatedly no matter what I try (including blank).

Someone please point me in the right direction of a solution or the docs I'm missing?

Many thanks.

The problem is that mythweb is setup to use digest authentication instead of basic, and vlc doesn't support digest. Try the open source program Media Player Classic as I have that working but I'm not sure which codec it is using. When I use Windows Media Player, and it does work for me, I can see that it is using the codec from sagetv.

Whoops, I made an assumption that you were on a windows machine. BTW, the next release of vlc is supposed to support digest authentication and there are testing releases available.
