Madsonic Support

So i have 2 folders where my media is stored one called TV one called Films but these folders are password protected using .htaccess as its on a server and i dont want praying eyes to be able to get on from the web, but the problem is i have know idea how to grant access to madsonic can anyone please help

I have worked out how to fix this problem and incase it helps anyone else i have pasted what you .htaccess file should look like

AuthName "Secure Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /to/where/your/passwords/are/stored/.htpasswd
require local
require valid-user

so the fix was to add

require local

its also important that its before

require valid-user

if you put it after it still wont work

Hope this helps someone
