Hi,

It is possible to add the https to mediabrowser for make more private the internet streaming ?

It is possible to manage some account for different access to the MediaBrowser (username+password) ?

Thanks a lot

currently just one account - serviio itself doesn't support multiple users

https - I guess you'd have to put a Apache server in front of serviio as a https proxy, but note that encoding videos to https will take some CPU

Thanks for your reply.

So can we change the username to enforce the security ?

I note that about the cpu but it's better to have choice between performance or security. On my country, the internet provider can check the traffic for the law and i don't want that.
That's why i ask and i wand choose hhtps for external viewing. Can you do something ?

Thanks

Give this a go http://www.stunnel.org/index.html
I've only used it on linux, but it says it works on windows.

Old thread, I know! Just to add, in order for you to use https, you'll have to alter the javascript files in serviio-media-browser.jar.

The current version hardcodes the http:// part, which makes it impossible to use https.

After adding window.location.protocol as global variable, and prefixing the 4 defined URLS with that, AND altering the buildSecureUrl method, I've managed to get it working over SSL.

I also added basic authentication, but you can only do that on the /mediabrowser location. If you add authentication to /, you'll mess up the authentication as used by Serviio.
