[vlc-devel] Re: authentication (login/password) on multicast

[tanveer]

Thank you BigBen, Thanks Assaf for the replies 
& thoughts.  And I'll try to proceed as BigBen 
suggested.  But, is there anyone on the list, who 
did some work on this issue??  Like BigBen said, there

were some ppl, who were thinking on it.  Any feedback 
will be a great help.  :)  

One more thing, as mentioned earlier, there will be 
problem of obstracting simultaneous use by one 
login ID.  It will be a big help, if any other 
problem comes into your mind, which I may face.  

Thanks once again for all the help.
