Using the plugin
The VRT NU platform requires users to sign in before gaining access to video-on-demand content. Users can sign in with a user name and password, or sign in with their Google, or Facebook account.
This plugin currently only supports signing in using the first method (user name and password). If you already have a VRT NU account and sign in with another method, it is easy to get a password:
- Sign out of your VRT NU account;
- Click Inloggen met e-mail;
- Click the Wachtwoord vergeten? hyperlink, and enter your email address.
You will receive an email that allows you to set a password. Use this password to enter in the plugin when prompted.
