Title: Podcasts requiring authentication
Post by: bwaldron on March 07, 2011, 08:14:52 am

I've been using Media Center to handle all my podcast subscriptions for years now. One of my podcast feeds has now become subscriber-only. It doesn't appear that MC currently handles authenticated feeds -- I see no way to enter the user/password info.

If I'm missing something, let me know. If not, I'd like to humbly request adding this feature -- I'd rather not use a second podcatching app just for the one protected feed.

EDIT: I find that I can access the feed by incorporating the login information in the URL (https://user:password@feedURL) with the associated disadvantages of doing so (e.g., storing the unencrypted login information in the podcast.xml file)
