Title: How to skip the authentication dialog when connecting from library client?
Post by: Osho on May 25, 2010, 01:41:40 am

Hi,

I have setup a Library Server that requires authentication with user-name and password. On client computer, I entered this user-name and password for the first time and instructed it to remember these credentials. Now, whenever I start MC15 client on the client computer, it does remember the credentials but I still have to press Enter to submit the credentials. Is there anyway to not have to interact with this dialog box when MC15 connects as a library client? This is particularly annoying when I use MC15 as a client on a HTPC and I launch MC15 via pressing a remote control button.

BTW, I also connect to library server from my work and other locations on Internet (which is why I need to password protect the library server in the first place). So, disabling password protection is not an option for me.

Thanks,
Osho

This is changed in build 52.

I think this is different than the build 52 change.

We'll take a look at this soon and see if we can change it.

Any updates? Please :) ?? this is driving all my HTPCs crazy - as I cannot operate them with keyboard only. I press a button to start MC15 but I keep having to fetch the keyboard to press enter before I can operate MC15 with the remote.

Thanks,
Osho

We're working on it today.  It looks like we need our own username / password dialog.

Assuming everything works out, we'll have this updated in a build available later this week.

Thanks for the patient bumps.
