auto-accept Certificates

Postby elitedata » 04 Feb 2022 18:19

please add an option in settings to automatically accept Certificates permanently or for 24 hours.
i stream Pluto.tv on VLC and every time the "stitcher" changes to an additional stream (commercials), this Certificate message pops up and interrupts the playback.
thank you.
(also see my other post about the audio "remap" filter, when remapping only the center channel, it needs to include both left and right channels as mono output)

For obvious security reasons, we are not going to do that.

understood, but some of us are more advanced and understand the security risks involved, and when it comes to pluto.tv, the risks involved are extremely low.
this particular website changes their certificates more often than necessary and as a result, the playback on VLC is interrupted often.
still, it would be nice to see this option included in settings (for advanced users) even though i know now, you wont add it.
i would prefer to use VLC for playback instead of utilizing their website for playback.
thanks for the feedback Remi.

just add their certificate authority
:!: If you want your problem to be solved :
* First read troubleshooting guide VSG:Main
* Always provide verbose LOGS ! (command line or from gui)
* Always check your issue against a developer build from Nightly Build of VLC
* Tell us when your problem is solved !
