So this is probably a noob question, but how does one pass authentication parameters when fetching video content?
I'm currently using the SGDEX views to lay out a basic channel and using the sample videos Roku has provided e.g http://roku.content.video.llnw.net/...mp4
I've got a seedbox where I'm hosting the feed itself and the videos. To fetch the feed, I use request.AddHeader to pass authentication to the seedbox. I was wondering how to do that for each individual video- or whether this is the best approach.
Also, is there a way to authenticate once and then fetch videos until a user logs off the channel?
I read through https://developer.roku.com/en-ot/docs/references/brightscript/interfaces/ifhttpagent.md
But it leads me to believe that even if I create a cert on the seedbox, it won't run while the channel is sideloaded ( i.e no way to know if it's actually working before publishing)
Any pointers and tips would be most appreciated!
So I'm still stuck on this , but I did find something about HttpHeaders. I'm trying to do something like this now:

Are you seeing anything in debug while trying this?
I'm not familiar with SGDEX but as far as secure video, have a look at this section about "Data bindings"
