Did not work :-(

Tried as you suggested and did not work.
Have you ever used that sort of login to a server ???
The box that I am developing is running Android 2.2 ... could that have some bearing on problem ??
Also VideoView always just has a message "Sorry cannot play video"
This message occurs if file not found, codec not available etc etc .. would be nice if error was more specific.
Erel .. thanks for reply. Downloading file not an option ... is 1.5 gigs .. can not do this each time I want to watch a movie ...
The actual box is able to use its software to stream from my server .... frustrated that I can not do it ! The first time I try this you have to supply login credentials which it remembers and then will stream movie(s) fine. it sets up a shortcut to the server which I feel is something like a "mapped network drive" in Windows.
In fact "mapping a network drive" would be my goal and creating a mount point. Possible ??
