Hi,
Is it possible to open wmv stream from address like this:
http://www.example.com?http://example.c ... l?live.wmv. Normally when i access to this stream, i have to login first. I think login uses cookie.

Cookie support for HTTP authentication has been added in VLC 0.9. We'll release in a few days so give it a try then and tell us if it worked.
Cheers,

Hi,
How will this cookie support work? Is it possible to add a cookie to a player embedded in a WEB page?
Where can I find some documentation regarding cookies for VLC?

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?
