Play HTTP link with authentication

Open varoOP opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

If I try to play a link which requires http authentication nothing happens Would it be possible to pass the cookie or http authentication header to the player ?

Fortunately, extensions can't read the good auth tokens, but conceivably you could use netrc.

Check out the docs on how to use netrc and add this to "MPV Arguments" in the options: -n=$HOME/.netrc (replace $HOME with the full path)
