[stream_monkey]

Hello community-

Is there a way to set a user agent in livestreamer? Say, for example make it appear to the server as if the OS being used is Android rather than Windows?

Thank you.

[zer00]

@stream_monkey

you can use the http-header option like this:

livestreamer --http-header "User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.3; en-us; sdk Build/MR1) AppleWebKit/536.23 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.3 Mobile Safari/536.23" ...

@stream_monkey

Thank you.

One more question: Can anyone let me know the correct syntax to use to get livestreamer to play a local, hlsvariant m3u8? I don't have problems when the m3u8 is on the web, but when I try to point it to a local file it doesn't work.

[sebus]

I can play this local static stream (served by Unreal Madia Server (http://umediaserver.net/umediaserver/download.html))

rtmp://10.0.0.42:5119/vod/MediaRoot2/Illuminations-ThePrivateLivesofMedievalKings/Ep3.LibrariesGaveUsPower_59m_09s.mp4

in VLC perfectly fine

But livestreamer chokes on it (not that I need it, just trying to test)

C:\Livestreamer>livestreamer --player="C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" "rtmp://10.0.0.42:5119/vod/MediaRoot2/Illuminations-ThePrivateLivesofMedievalKings/Ep3.LibrariesGaveUsPower_59m_09s.mp4" best
[cli][info] Found matching plugin stream for URL rtmp://10.0.0.42:5119/vod/MediaRoot2/Illuminations-ThePrivateLivesofMedievalKings/Ep3.LibrariesGaveUsPower_59m_09s.mp4
[cli][info] Available streams: live (worst, best)
[cli][info] Opening stream: live (rtmp)
[cli][error] No data returned from stream


Obviously that is not correct, as the stream exists & as stated plays fine in VLC

[sebus]

Any idea if ITV can be restreamed with ffmpeg. Currently I get error if:

livestreamer -O "http://www.itv.com/hub/itv" best 2>NUL | ffmpeg -re -i - -sn -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f flv "rtmp://127.0.0.1/MonaClients/itv"

pipe:: Invalid data found when processing input


Thanks for any help

sebus

edit:

This works!

livestreamer "http://www.itv.com/hub/itv" best --player-external-http-port 59411

and then I can

ffmpeg -re -i http://127.0.0.1:59411 -sn -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f flv "rtmp://127.0.0.1/MonaClients/itv"
