http://212.95.32.219:8005/;stream.mp3

when I open it from Media > Open Network Stream > Network then It does not play it at all. But when I manually download this stream as file and then open that mp3 saved file then it plays it.

Note that there's semicolon in url. Could this be problem?

If anyone interested .... here's script I used to download it:

Code: Select all

inetget("http://212.95.32.219:8005/;stream.mp3",@DesktopDir&"\s.mp3",1,0)

andInetGet manual.

Look at VLC logs.

it doesn't create any logs even after I set log path and verbosity from preferences. So I opened Tools -> messages instead and got this:

Did anyone test this stream? I think of some VLC dev/support staff tries it out he might get better idea of issue than by just reading posts

Server does user agent sniffing. So current VLC releases cannot playback the URL.

Posted: **19 Mar 2012 23:32**

so you have to use fake user agent?

Can future vlc do this?

IMHO VLC should have this option. No one should tell me what to use. If i've found my my favourite Player then I should have right to use that, and it shouldn't be they're call to tell me what player to use.

I am just curious... in which file is user agent info stored? (doesn't matter me if it's binary or not)

And why doesn't this work?

--http-user-agent=<string> User Agent
You can use a custom User agent or use a known one

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --http-user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0"

but I still get

why don't I get Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0 ? Does help really have documented parameters that doesn't actually exist?

Edit: I made Firefox give out VLC/2.0.0 LibVLC/2.0.0 as user agent (with plugin) and I can still download it.... Must be something else.

Someone set the http-user-agent= as private option, so it only works with libvlc, not with VLC. Hopefully that will be changed one day.
