Change GET / HTTP/1.1 header

[miladia]

Hi,

Is there a way to change GET http header on vlc when you want to play http streams?

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host:
User-Agent: VLC/2.0.2 LibVLC/2.0.2
Range: bytes=0-
Connection: close
Icy-MetaData: 1

I think this is default.

Probably you need to write a Lua playlist script.

Thank you, I have tried, and modify the script:

Code: Select all

function get_prefres() local prefres = -1 if vlc.var and vlc.var.inherit then prefres = vlc.var.inherit(nil, "preferred-resolution") if prefres == nil then prefres = -1 end end return prefres end -- Probe function. function probe() return vlc.access == "http" and string.match( vlc.path, "http://best.str.nettvplus.com:8080/" ) -- do not match other addresses, -- else we'll also try to decode the actual video url end -- Parse function. function parse() agent = vlc.var.inherit(nil,"http-user-agent") if string.match( string.lower(agent), ".*vlc.*" ) then vlc.msg.dbg("Wrong agent, adapting...") return { { path = vlc.access .. "://" .. vlc.path; options = {":http-user-agent=Mozilla/5.0" } } } end end

This is the stream I would like to play in VLC stream, the problem is that if user-agent is vlc, then server will forward to some page showing error 500 (internal server error), but entering for example address into browser working without problems.

Is it the working solution or the script does not work?

[miladia]

Working solution. I've tried to start the script for every http stream opened in VLC. So, therefore I modified the script and probe function to be always true.

Code: Select all

-- Probe function. function probe() return vlc.access == "http" and string.match( "test", "test" ) -- return true for every http stream -- and string.match( vlc.path, "http://best.str.nettvplus.com:8080/stream/?channel=pinksi3sbb&stream=1mb&sp=nettvplus&b=10?u=WWWP4FFG&p=I2ZQV7X8" ) -- do not match other addresses, -- else we'll also try to decode the actual video url end -- Parse function. function parse() agent = vlc.var.inherit(nil,"http-user-agent") -- if string.match( string.lower(agent), ".*vlc.*" ) then -- vlc.msg.dbg("Wrong agent, adapting...") return { { path = vlc.access .. "://" .. vlc.path; options = {":http-user-agent=Mozilla/5.0" } } } end

I've previously removed other scripts, and tested with Wireshark how it is working. I have entered for example a youtube link, and the scrip is executing
