Re: How to watch BBC World News from Giniko on VLC


This is my command line argument:

Code:
vlc.exe --http-user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.115 Safari/537.36" http://nimlive1.giniko.com/bbcworldnews/bbcworld/playlist.m3u8?wmsAuthSign=c2VydmVyX3RpbWU9OC8xLzIwMTcgMjowMTozMSBQTSZoYXNoX3ZhbHVlPTFUcytZR3ZIVG9RWG15K0srMlNYMUE9PSZ2YWxpZG1pbnV0ZXM9MTQ0MA==

and error message:

Code:
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://nimlive1.giniko.com/bbcworldnews/bbcworld/playlist.m3u8?wmsAuthSign=c2VydmVyX3RpbWU9OC8xLzIwMTcgMjowMTozMSBQTSZoYXNoX3ZhbHVlPTFUcytZR3ZIVG9RWG15K0srMlNYMUE9PSZ2YWxpZG1pbnV0ZXM9MTQ0MA=='. Check the log for details.

Strangely, I cannot find log file anywhere.

c:\dir *.log /s

shows all log files on PC, none from VLC.




media menu, open network stream, more options defaults to:

:network-caching=1000

When I change that to:

:http-user-agent=Mozilla/5.0

I can play Giniko, but that setting appears to be temporary, lasting for one run only.

Next time I open VLC I find :network-caching=1000 again.

If I knew how to make setting :http-user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 as permanent, it would solve my problem.



I tried vlcrc, I save setting, but when I run VLC I don't see any effect.

# User Agent (string)

http-user-agent=Mozilla/5.0



That image that you posted shows exactly what I would like to see in urlsnooper, can you get it like that constantly or is it for one run only ?

What VLC version are you running?

Mine is: vlc-2.2.7-20170728-0528-win64
