My stream was running fine without password, then I use ModuleOnConnectAuthenticate2 The publish part with Flash is successful using username and password with the module. Now I am on the playing part with JW Player. In JWPlayer script, I use this link rtmp://link/appname\*\*?username=user1&password=user1pass\*\*/mp4:dev\_one The above link does not work. I got the error: Error loading stream , Could not connect to server. What can I do for this to work ? The username and password that I entered is correct. ---

Hi, Have you tried using this playback URL? ```auto rtmp://link/appname/mp4:dev_one?username=user1&password=user1pass ``` Zoran ---

Hello, Thank you for the update. For future reference, can you post the playback URL you were using so that other forum users might benefit from your findings? Thank you, Zoran ---

I tried the link you gave also , but it did not work either. The same error appeared : Error loading stream , Could not connect to server. I want to state again that the Flash publisher using Action Script is successful using these username and password. I can see there is one incoming stream in the Wowza Streaming Engine Manager. ---

The link should have the format that the tutorial ModuleOnConnectAuthenticate2 mention appname/?username&password/mp4:… VLC can play this link --\> this link works , but JWPlayer and videoJS, both can not play this link ??? (Note: I have tried JWPlayer and videojs with sample links, and they worked.) Please help me to resolve this. Thank you. ---

I found out the solution for JWPlayer, for VideoJS probably there will be a fix because of the way they separate connection and stream with the first &. For JWPlayer, the / before the mp4: has to be removed to run. For VLC , the / has to be there to run. ---

THe RTMP link for JWPlayer is rtmp://wowzaadd:1935/appname/?username&passwordmp4:… (note there is no / between password and mp4) The RTMP link for VLC is rtmp://wowzaadd:1935/appname/?username&password/mp4:… For VideoJS, currently there is no way because videojs separates connection and stream with the first &. ---
