I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask this, but I have a problem streaming video files which are stored on my Huawei E5372 mobile WiFi router's micro SD card.
The router provides web-based access to the files on the SD card only, but when pasting the links into VLC, the files are not played. The reason seems to be that VLC sends a "Range bytes=0-" header, where the "0-" is problematic. When a fixed range is provided (such as 50-100), the request is served correctly by the Huawei.
So my question is whether there is a way to retreive a file from an URL like "http://192.168.8.1/sdcard/23_,mp4" and adjust the headers in such a way that the Range header is either omitted or comes with a fixed range? Or whether you could think of any other idea how to solve this issue?
Following are the headers and response of an unsuccessful VLC request and a successful request from Firefox. At the end is a -vvv verbose log when trying to play said file in VLC.
I'm really grateful for any kind of help!
