Re: [Streamline-User] 404 Errors

[Michael M. <mi...@ma...>]

Dave,

Mask URLs is a new feature in 1.0-beta4.  What you are thinking of is 
that each user has the option to have the username and passwords 
generated into the streaming URLS.  This option is set under each users 
account settings under streaming options.  There is probably a better 
name for the option, but right now it is called XMMS Compatible 
Playlists.  Other than that option the only thing that would determine 
if users have to enter auth info to stream is the authentication setting 
which you can define who can and can't stream/browse/download.  If 
"EVERYONE" is not in a particular list then people must provide login 
info to stream/download/browse (either by entering the password in the 
dialog or by having that info put right in the URL.)  Hope this helps.

~Mike
