Hi, i’m trying (and failing) to write a Site Configuration file for a website which uses Silverlight and requires the user to authenticate before they can access any content. I’ve read through the available documentation (http://dev.plexapp.com/docs/Configs.html) but still have some questions. When I navigate to a URL which is a live tv stream, the silverlight player will present a “Sign in” button. I was thinking that I could on this and continue the authentication. However, the documentation states that all positions and coordinates are “relative to the player”. However, when the user clicks on the “Sign in” button, instead of being presented with a form embedded into the player, it redirects to a new login URL. Once the login page has been submitted, it then redirects back to the original URL (with the player) and starts playing.
Is it going to be possible to use the Site Configuration to authenticate for me? If not, is there any other way to do it. Once authenticated, the cookies are obtained which allow the user to navigate to various channels. Can I use the Site Configuration to call a method in my plugin (in python) to setup the HTTP object and associated cookies, etc?
I’d really appreciate any help/suggestions that you might have. Thanks in advance!
I am not an expert on this but you can use Javascript in the site config. Look at the Netflix plugin (if you can figure it out) I believe there is a uk plugin that uses that too, 4oD maybe ?
good luck
Thanks for the suggestion, will definitely have a go. Unfortunately, my javascript is pretty crap but then I do work with along with about 80 software engineers and even though I don’t know it, i’m sure I can find someone who does…
