Hi all,

I need to open a video player from vb.net and play on it a movie that
is stored in a network folder. I'm trying with Process class but the
movie file is on a protected folder and I need to specify user and
password for accessing it.

The problem is that Process class provides User and Password
properties, but them applies to the application but not to the file
accessed (the movie).

In other words, I need to specify user and password for the movie
file, not for the movie player...

Some ideas???

Thanks in advance,
Dani
 
Maybe you can shell out quickly to subst out the path / map a network drive
for the split sec you need it with a user that has "view rights"

and once ur clip is done you unmap it ?

- Just a thought

Thanks for your reply !

Good thought... Iin fact I reach the same after some hours... but I
was wondering if there is a less tricky way of doing that... I'm worry
about having the folder mapped forever (or during the current session)
if something fails...
