Add option to change user agent string in rtsp header

[linh12]

Hi!
Many website only allow you to play video on their page. I 've found that their rtsp sever only accept some kind of user agent string like (WMPlayer/11.0.5721.5145 guid/....) so other downloader with different user agent string cannot download video.

Please make an option to change this
THanks.

I haven't seen anything related to this on mailing list.

I found setUserAgent option in LIVE555 , however I don't know where in vlc or which file we can set it?
Apparently Windows Media Server is designed to only allow WMP to work with and will immediately reject VLC or any other application.

Forced to necropost, as this feature doesn't seem to be added yet. Is compiling our own VLC from scratch source really the only answer anytime we need a custom user agent string in order to play a stream? Seriously? There couldn't possibly be a GUI box added to change it, a simple editable ini file, a user-agent flag, anything?
