Streaming videio in .htaccess password protected directories

[Cyn]

Hi,
I have a password protected directory using .htaccess and I have a large number of real media streaming videos in this directory for my members.

Every time a member goes to view a video they have to keep re-entering their user name and password every time which is very annoying and is losing subscribers.

A member should only have to enter in user name and password one time to get into the members area...not every time they want to view a video.

What can I do to fix this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Let's see the .htaccess or at least relavent portions of it. Caching the authentication info is up to the browser and they do that automatically unless there's something odd about your require paragraph.

Hi,

Here is the file "except for the location of the .htpasswd file".
Thank you so much for your help!

AuthName MEMBERS
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>
