Anonymous login

I am trying to figure out how to negate the need to login altogether. I don't wish to have multiple users or require a login since I am streaming files I own the copyright on for the purpose of showing specific files to every user.

I have finally figured out how to forcibly load a playlist when a user does login so they are presented with the list I want them to see and I figured out how to block them from saving edits to the playlist(s), but my first attempts at negating the login process haven't been successful.

I realize the ramification for the "Online" section and I will probably just nuke that link since I don't really want the IPs shown either.

I thought about just defining a user for the variable in the javascript but was having issues.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

PENDRAGON

Vibe Streamer needs a logged on user in order to stream music and store statistics and more, so there's no possibilities for accessing the server anonymously.

As for automatically logging on the user I don't think there are any good solution for you to accomplish this. You _can_ send the username and password in a link to the server, for example http//userpassword@serveraddress8081

Although this is no longer supported by Internet Explorer due to a security issue, so it's not a good solution, unless everyone that needs to access your server uses firefox or opera only..

I'd say it's easiest for you to create a user with the username 'anonymous' and the password 'anonymous' and then mention those from where you're linking to your server..

Combine the two concepts.

The Vibe Streamer server _could_ support 'Anonymous' as a default user whenever one is not supplied or recognized by the server. Password would not matter. This 'Anonymous' user could be automatically or manually set up in the interface depending on which makes the most sense. In either case, it should be possible to disable if that is the desired behavior.

I would like to add my support for Makaen's idea for including a way to offer anonymous users to bypass the login dialog. This is a fairly significant inconvenience for public sites.

Thanks in advance for giving this some consideration.
