did you guys solve this issue? I am also facing same issue. I think the vlc browser plugin does not send the cookies over to the streaming site and the site I am accessing is using that to authenticate.

How do I get the vlc browser plugin to send the cookies file over?

I am logged into the site and it works fine using windows media player. Do you think windows media player picks up some cookie from the browser and sends over this information to the server which vlc is not doing?

I dont understand how authentication works in media streams.

Here are the messages from the console when I launch firefox from a shell. Looks like some access issue but no idea on what it is...

Thanks for quick response. So if I understand correctly, the same stream will work fine with windows media player but with vlc, it will be an issue. Right?

Thanks again for your help.

I see the same issue on a windows machine. It happens for certain streaming movies which are long. The short movies from the same site work fine.

Both the movies work fine on windows media player. I will get messages from linux machine soon.

I am seeing same issue on ubuntu linux install of VLC 0.9.2.

Has anybody found a solution?
