Hi Derrel, I'll check into it. I thought I tested the rendering before releasing, but a bug could have gotten in there.
As far as putting code into the title, you basically can't. Several things are not allowed through the Swiki syntax (>&@:*). These are pretty ingrained into the system, so I don't see any way around that. As far as IE vs. Firefox, that's a really tricky one. It sounds like Firefox is downloading the file and then opening up MediaPlayer on the file. Since FireFox has permission to get the file, this works. IE, on the other hand, is just forwarding the URL to MediaPlayer. Since MediaPlayer does not have the authentication, it has to ask for it. Could you perhaps reconfigure IE to download the video before it passes it on to MediaPlayer. Otherwise, this seems pretty difficult to solve. Another thing you could try is, if you know all the IPs in the classroom, just give all of those IPs read or read/write access to the site. Peace and Luck!
