I have searched these forums and basically all over google for the past week trying to find some information regarding this, since I'm having problems making videos stream from my IIS server.
Sadly, i was not able to find a solution to this, which is why I ask for help here.
I have an IIS 7.5 server running on a Windows 7 64-bit server/computer. I use the VLC Web Plugin for Mozilla Firefox to play the video file in a browser, but without success.
It should also be noted that I have added the MIME type .mkv to the IIS MIME-Types as video/x-matroska, so this should not be the problem. Also, I have given every user full access rights to the entire www folder and the file, so this should not be the problem either.
I cut it down to a very basic HTML file "index.html" and saved the video file right next to the HTML page. Here is my HTML code:
Code: Select all

function mute(){
vlc.audio.toggleMute();
}
function play(){
vlc.playlist.play();
}
function stop(){
vlc.playlist.stop();
}
function pause(){
vlc.playlist.togglePause();
}
</script>

</html>
Here is the log from VLC when I input the video URL from the web server directly into the VLC Media Player:

So my question is, is there a way to make this work through the NTLM login method?
And if not, how do I manage it in for example ASP.net using forms authentication, or PHP using sessions, it doesn't really matter which one, I just need the VoD streaming to be behind a login system, I'll figure out how to connect the login information to the NTLM method myself.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, since I'm really stuck here on this one.
