Hello,

I am attempting to connect a JSON data source that requires a username and password to access. Vmix is only able to give me a 401 / unauthorized error message in red. I tried including the username and password in the URL but that won't work either. Help!

Thanks,
Robert

JSON LINK EXAMPLE
https://example.edu/admin/feed.php

THIS DOES NOT WORK EITHER
https://username:password@example.edu/admin/feed.php

Is the data source using HTTP Basic Authentication?

Modern browsers don't allow basic auth authentication via the address itself, and there is AFAIK no way in vMix to authenticate basic auth for data sources.

There are some options for you as I see.
A) If data source service allows authenticating through unique token in the url.
B) Find/make a local web server that can act as proxy authenticating requests to the data source.
C) Hope vMix implements options for this. If you wish this, you should create a feature request to the forum.
