user name password in members area Help
 

Hi there are some wmv files in my members area that promt a user name and password when you try to view them/download them. How do you set it up so it will not ask for this? The mpgs don't do this only wmv files??

TOM

check your .htaccess file

it is a built in windows media player thing, not sure how to stop it, mine do it too

Its normal mate!

make url to your wmv files with username and passs

http://username:[email protected]/file.wmv

Ill try that :) thanks

http://username:pass@www.yourserver.com/file.wmv isn't supported anymore?

There was a bug in IE that made it possible to spoof the URL in de address bar, I think they removed that feature to fix the bug.

That doesnt happen anymore to me- I'm not sure if it's due to the version or wmp I'm using or ie6

That sucks ;(

put the videos in an unprotected directory and have a script that changes the url of that directory periodically.

just use another auth system than htaccess+htpasswd...

mine don't do that, and I have them on all my sites in wmv format

Yeah,

I remember them removing that feature a while back...

In my opinion it was a good idea.
