Http headers

[mortegai]

How I can add custom http headers (eg Referer) for a url in a playlist?

[Eugene]

You can't if you don't have your own http-server. The info about headers is for operators, not for users.

[mortegai]

So, is there nothing like https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/faq#TOC-How-can-I-pass-other-HTTP-headers- for MX Player or Kodi protocol options http://kodi.wiki/view/HTTP?

[Eugene]

I know nothing about Kodi or MX Player. I answer only the question about our app.
http headers can be added only on server-side, it is common rule, so if you don't have own http-server, you cannot add your own http-headers, no matter for Kody or for anything else.

I think the http headers are also used by clients in any http request.
For example:

Code: Select all

ffplay -headers $'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0\r\nReferer: http://www.playerhd2.pw\r\n' http://cdn.sitenow.me/live/neox_alwkw2n/playlist.m3u8

You have this result (obtained with Wireshark):

Code: Select all

GET /live/neox_alwkw2n/playlist.m3u8 HTTP/1.1
Accept: */*
Range: bytes=0-
Connection: close
Host: cdn.sitenow.me
Icy-MetaData: 1
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0
Referer: http://www.playerhd2.pw

chunklist.m3u8

As can be seen in the request (GET) http headers also are included, and in this case the application (ffplay, same as MX Player, Kodi, ...) admits be instructed the values for some of them.

From what you tell me, it seems that ss-iptv has no way to tell some http header to include in their requests.
In any case, thank you very much for your answers.

You should be more exact in questioning.
Your example is for non-browser requests (therefore User-Agent is set to "Mozilla"), it is not usual case.
Do not compare PC players and Smart TV players, most of Smart TV apps works as single-page site in browser's environment, so User-Agent and Referer cannot be substituted
