The VideoLAN Forums

Dear All,
I have tried to use the search function provided at the top of the web site, but i couldnt find any related post about this.

I was trying to open a network movie from a server with http authentication enabled. Is there anyway to include the username & password in the command line while opening the stream instead of everytime entering the username and password in the http authentication pop-up form from VLC Client.

Thank you in advance.


p.s - so far i have tried to use following command to by pass the http authentication pop-up form from the VLC Client but not successful.

c:\program files\videoLan\vlc\vlc.exe http://10.0.1.5/movie.mjpg --http-user root --http-pwd password
c:\program files\videoLan\vlc\vlc.exe http://10.0.1.5/movie.mjpg --http-user=root --http-pwd=password
c:\program files\videoLan\vlc\vlc.exe http://10.0.1.5/movie.mjpg http-user=root http-pwd=password
c:\program files\videoLan\vlc\vlc.exe --http-user=root --http-pwd=password http://10.0.1.5/movie.mjpg

three years later, but no answer...
I tried any possible combination, but nothing works.
maybe somebody can enlighten me

http://user:pass@

works

If username contains the @ char then vlc gets confused.
Example:
username=myusr@domain.com
pwd=mypwd

Would be great that developpers coul pass these two arguments as an options (http-user / http-pwd).
Would be also great if the parsing function of URIs admits username with @ char.
