Great examples here is a little more to add to them with just changing the beginning of the string. So no need for typing in usernames and passwords.

Hi I'm using this example to remotely open my cctv streams and it works great...any idea how you attach a custom thumbnail or icon that displays in the osd ?
I've tried hundreds of variations but I'm getting nowhere...the irritating thing is i had this working perfectly a while back, but due to a complete brainfart managed to delete the scripts id written that achieved this.
Checked the wiki and it doesn't seem to cover this scenario.
