User-Agent: VLC media player (LIVE555 Streaming Media v"LIVE555 version")

The part between the () is clear. It comes from LIVE555's RTSPClient.cpp and liveMedia_version.hh files.

The question is (considering RTSP using LIVE555 library) from witch file "User-Agent: VLC media player " is taken from?

There's a part in /modules/access/rtsp/rtsp.c:

if( psz_user_agent ) s->user_agent = strdup( psz_user_agent );
else s->user_agent = strdup( "User-Agent: RealMedia Player Version "
"6.0.9.1235 (linux-2.0-libc6-i386-gcc2.95)" );

which should give the user-agent string, but it's not.

So can anybody point the real place of this User-Agent stuff?

From module/demux/live555.cpp

Code: Select all

#if LIVEMEDIA_LIBRARY_VERSION_INT > 1130457500
    if( ( p_sys->rtsp = RTSPClient::createNew(*p_sys->env, 1 /*verbose*/,
          "VLC media player", i_http_port ) ) == NULL )
#else
    if( ( p_sys->rtsp = RTSPClient::createNew(*p_sys->env, 1 /*verbose*/,
          "VLC media player" ) ) == NULL )
#endif

The VLC media player part is customizible (if compile your own VLC). The party in () cannot be changed and is added automatically by the liveMedia RTSP library

At last!

As usual, the most obvious and logical place. How have I missed it ...
Works like a charm

Thank You very much for the support!
