Play mp4 video(url) which was protected by Windows authentication, using MPMoviePlayerController - ios

Question

I have an .mp4 video(url) which was protected by Windows authentication. I would like to play using MPMoviePlayerController.
I've implemented some code, and I'm sure I'm close!
So, I'm trying to "unlock" the mp4 url using NSURLConnection. It works, but when I try to access the same url with initWithContentURL, it doesn't work. (it cannot "see" that I've entered the info previously.
So, the question was; how do I onlock a folder/url permanently, OR how can I provide MPMoviePlayerController a NSURLConnection instead of NSURL.
1- So, here's the steps I've taken:
- (void)viewDidLoad{
[super viewDidLoad];
//[self.webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4"]]];
[self tryConnection];
}
2--> I'm trying to access the protected URL(this was working)
- (void) tryConnection{
NSURLRequest* request = [[NSURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.abcd.com/_develop/video/01.mp4"]];
NSURLConnection* connection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
//[request release];
//[connection release];
}
3- this was called properly
- (BOOL)connection:(NSURLConnection*)conn canAuthenticateAgainstProtectionSpace:(NSURLProtectionSpace*)protectionSpace {
if([[protectionSpace authenticationMethod] isEqualToString:NSURLAuthenticationMethodNTLM])
return YES;
// Explicitly reject ServerTrust. This is occasionally sent by IIS.
if([[protectionSpace authenticationMethod] isEqualToString:NSURLAuthenticationMethodServerTrust])
return NO;
return NO;
}
4- this was called properly
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection*)connection didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge*)challenge{
NSLog(#"didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge");
if ([challenge.protectionSpace.authenticationMethod isEqualToString:NSURLAuthenticationMethodNTLM])
[[challenge sender] useCredential:[NSURLCredential
credentialWithUser:#"1234"
password:#"5678"
persistence:NSURLCredentialPersistenceNone] forAuthenticationChallenge:challenge];
}
4- this was called properly. From here, that's great because i know that the url was Unlock. So... how to play it with MPMoviePlayer?
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response;{
NSLog(#"received response via nsurlconnection");
[self moviePlayerGO];
}
4- Stay black... :(
-(void)moviePlayerGO{
NSURL *movieURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.abcd.com/_develop/video/01.mp4"];
//NSURL *movieURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4"];
moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];
moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen;
moviePlayer.shouldAutoplay = YES;
[[moviePlayer view] setFrame: CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 350.0, 250.0)]; // 2X the native resolution
[self.view addSubview: [moviePlayer view]];
}
