    VLC is quite happy to display the videos as is Firefox, both ask for
    user and password and just work!

    By mplayer I assume you mean totem which I have never had much
    success with. In this case I suspect it wants the user and password
    but doesn't ask. Perhaps there's a way to put it in the opening
    command? I will look for that ...

        [bobg at box9 ~]$ /usr/bin/totem http://192.168.1.51/mjpeg/mjpeg.video
