How to authenticate when using VideoPlayer?

I am implementing the following solution Play a video in Glass

Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction("com.google.glass.action.VIDEOPLAYER");
i.putExtra("video_url", "..."); 
startActivity(i);

But I am getting hit with a 401 error.

To authenticate I need to include my key/value pair in header.

How do I go about doing that, with intents?

回答1:

The com.google.glass.action.VIDEOPLAYER Intent is an undocumented Intent that is likely to change without any notice. There's no official support for it, thus no authentication.

If you need video playback capability, I strongly recommend that you follow this feature request.

Hi prepare method of mediaplayer fails if you call it before setting the datasource or if setdatasource fails Try changing the url

回答3:

Currently (only for testing) I made the token a query parameter, and authenticated through that.
