Is it possible to transfer cookies from the browser to VLC for Akamai Streams?
Posted: 21 Jan 2018 12:04
I wanted to use my VLC player to watch streams coming from Akamai infrastructure. If i grab the manifest url in Firefox via DevTools and insert it in the vlc playlist it usually works.
In this specific case it won't work. If you access the url for the first time in the browser, they set cookies which have to be added for subsequent requests for authentication.
Is it possible to send them from FF to VLC so that authentication no longer fails and i can play the hls stream there?
