Setting the user-agent does not work?

Postby HaKu » 15 Jun 2009 18:59

Hi,

I'm trying to set the user-agent with " --http-user-agent='QuickTime.7.6.2 (qtver=7.6.2;cpu=IA32;os=Mac 10,5,7)' " on a Mac with OSX 10.5.7 using vlc "version 0.9.9a Grishenko".

Because I believe that this is not a Mac related problem I'm posting it here.

When I try to do so with

Code: Select all

"... /VLC --http-user-agent='QuickTime.7.6.2 (qtver=7.6.2;cpu=IA32;os=Mac 10,5,7)' -vvv -I dummy rtsp://ondemand.quicktime.zdf.newmedia.nacamar.net/zdf/data/quicktime/..."
I'm ending up always with a "User-Agent: VLC media player (LIVE555 Streaming Media v2009.03.22)" in the debug
log.

What I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks for your help!
Bye,
Hans

--http-user-agent is not for the live555 RTSP module. You cannot change the useragent used by the RTSP client module.
Don't use PMs for support questions.

Wow, that was fast!

Thanks for pointing that out!
