Cookie from roVideoScreen

Hi,

I have a stream that I'm playing via roVideoScreen just fine. However, the stream URL returns a session ID in the cookie jar that is needed to stop the streaming. Any way I can get that session ID from the cookie jar once the stream is accessed via roVideoScreen?

thanks
Jonny

Re: Cookie from roVideoScreen

The roVideoScreen object does not fire the roUrlEvent for video urls it accesses.... so there is no way to get this info on the video streams.

I'd rethink your architecture. It sounds like maybe you need a cookie for authentication of some screen following the video screen? These cookies are usually acquired by accessing some authenticated xml feed, or other "login" process.

Thanks for the reply. Good to know I can't get the cookies from the roVideoScreen, I'll look for another route.
