VLC for Android please enable http-referrer and http-user-agent
Posted: 06 Dec 2019 22:20
I can get Vlc 3.0.8 on Ubuntu 18.04 64bit desktop to work using http-referrer and http-user-agent using
an xspf file, an m3u file, and a Lua script file but when I load any of those files using VLC for Android on my Tablet running vlc 3.2.3 it doesn't work and I get an error "The location <url link> cannot be played"
Here's an example of a M3U file which works in Vlc 3.0.8 on Ubuntu 18.04 64bit desktop.
