Help: Rainmeter Skins • Weird behaivour with WebParser HTTP Authentication

$

Very strange behaivour, I'm posting here since I couldn't find anything for my Error Code and not understanding why it isn't working

To cut a long story short, I'm making a skin for VLC where you don't need the libcad plugin!
I have the following measure

Code:

[VLCRoot]Measure=WebParserURL=http://#UserName#:#Password#@#IpAdress#:#Port#/requests/status.xmlRegExp=.*
For some reason, this is not working, when I run the skin, I getand then the error
  • (Fetch error) The parameter is incorrect. (ErrorCode=87) (VLCMeter\VLCMeter.ini - [VLCRoot])
I have genuinley looked at everything I wrote, up and down, left and right, diagonally, through my monitor (I'm a ghost and I can phase throught it) and it dosen't make sense.
I tried to fix this in a bit of a convoluted way, I looked at the packets in the Developer Tools menu, looked at the headers and decided to move the Auth part from the URL to the Headers stolen from there

Code:

[VLCRoot]Measure=WebParserURL=http://#IpAdress#:#Port#/requests/status.xmlHeader=Authorization: Basic #UserName#:#Password#RegExp=.*
It dosen't work, I no longer get the parameter is incorrect error, but I just get the usual 401 not authorized because the Header option is not working, which is annoying.
Is there a way to do HTTP Auth in Rainmeter on local ips without a .TDL ending or did I miss something?

Actually, this entire post was a ruse, should I use status.xml or status.json to parse VLC's data? 🤔
