problem on RTSP Authentication
We are trying to setup the RTSP Authentication.
I've setup the public.password file for RTP authentication also we've configured the application RTP/Authentication/PlayMethod to digest in the application.xml. Everything goes well after configuration, the stream is protected with the username.
Except when I am trying to use VLC to connect, it ask me twice for username and password on every request. any idea? By the way, I am using the mediacache in this application.
The log in console shows the following, it seems that the VLC player is trying to connect twice....:-

What version of Wowza and VLC? Upgrading is always a good idea. Try playing the RTSP stream in VLC from a different computer.
I have tested this on Wowza 3.0.3.10 build995 with VLC 1.1.11 and it only asks for the password one time.
Note: Haven't tried it with MediaCache (yet).

my version is Wowza Media Server 3 Perpetual Edition 3.0.3 build882 and VLC is 1.1.11. also, wowza server and vlc are different computer
it is okay with
but still twice without username:password in URL.
the performance on video start time is degrading on the twice handshaking.... :( need helps!
it is okay with
rtsp://username:password@ip:port/mediacache/_definst_/mp4:http/path1/filename.mp4

VLC will failover to TCP if UDP is blocked. You can force it to use TCP initially:

Or you can unblock UDP ports (0-65535) possibly in your firewall, or other point in your network.
