Hi All,
We are trying to create a vod plugin for enigma2 but have an issue,

our play code is below, which is working w/o any problem for many vod streams,
but some links requires special http header like custom user-agent and also cookie.

 

self.reference = eServiceReference(4097, 0, self.vod_url)
self.reference.setName(self.title)
self.session.nav.playService(self.reference)

http headers are below for the player;

 

Hypertext Transfer Protocol
	GET /hv/42520740.mp4?sign=9445ae0ee23498b992450b38ac3ee4ca8133ede7&slave[]=s%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2F127.0.0.1%3A5010%2F42520740-hv.mp4&p=0&expire_at=1372967538|video_key=88265 HTTP/1.1
 
	Request Version: HTTP/1.1

	[Full request URI: http://cdn9.video.mail.ru/hv/42520740.mp4?sign=9445ae0ee23498b992450b38ac3ee4ca8133ede7&slave[]
=s%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2F127.0.0.1%3A5010%2F42520740-hv.mp4&p=0&expire_at=1372967538 cookies=video_key=88265]
	[HTTP request 1/1]

But I want to add a cookie header to the http request which will be send via URl (video_key=88265).

Is there any way of altering http headers for the player?

Many thanks in advance for any help.

the agent is easy, you can configure it with the e2 config option config.mediaplayer.useAlternateUserAgent=Yes and config.mediaplayer.alternateUserAgent=some agent

Any other headers you'd need to implement yourself, have a look at servicemp3.cpp
eServiceMP3::gstHTTPSourceSetAgent, to see how the user-agent property is set.

if you're lucky, the http source you're using has some other properties you could use for your cookie

Hi, I modified servicemp3 for my plugin and now it's possible to set also extra http headers.

 

You just need to download modified servicemp3 version:

http://archivy-czsk....s/servicemp4.so

 

Then your can set extra headers like this:

import servicemp4
SERVICEMP4_ID = 4113

config.plugins.archivCZSK = ConfigSubsection()
config.plugins.archivCZSK.videoPlayer = ConfigSubsection()
config.plugins.archivCZSK.videoPlayer.extraHeaders = NoSave(ConfigText(default=""))

def setExtraHeaders(dictHeaders):
        headersString = '#'.join([(key + ':' + value) for key, value in dictHeaders.iteritems()])
        config.plugins.archivCZSK.videoPlayer.extraHeaders.setValue(headersString)

def playWithHeaders(session, url, headers):
        setExtraHeaders(url, headers)
        sref = eServiceReference(SERVICEMP4_ID,0,url)
        session.nav.playService(sref)

testPlay():
        session = getSession()
        headers={"video_key":"88265"}
        url = "http://somevideourl.com"
        playWithHeaders(session,url,headers)

Where can we find the sourcecode?

        url = "http://somevideourl.com"
        playWithHeaders(session,url,headers)

Many thanks for your great support I will test soon,

just to clarify, as I want to send the "video_key=88265" as cookie, my code should be below, right?

testPlay():
        session = getSession()
        headers={"Cookies":"video_key=88265"}
        url = "http://somevideourl.com"
        playWithHeaders(session,url,headers)

[mx3L]

You're welcome,

It's correct but for videomail should be header "Cookie" instead "Cookies":

headers={"Cookie":"video_key=88265"}

@mx3L, I have tried but got below error;

Currently I have mipsel (oe1.6) image is this the reason of the error?

If yes can you please advise how to compile for this version or if you have compiled for mipsel would be great.

import servicemp4
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by ./servicemp4.so)

@pieterg

This is source of latest version http://code.google.c...ce/detail?r=355

Or even better a diff against current OpenPLi git.

Would be great to add the current OpenPli git

[littlesat]

Can we get a clear patch then?

This patch is not useable.... It does not have the right format.

Sorry....

 

the patch is full of white spaces (empty lines with only spaces or tabs) and a block of code is using spaces instead of tabs to indent.

[mx3L]

Sorry, my IDE is using spaces instead of tabs. I removed all white spaces.

@littlesat, has the patch been added to the current pli git?

[Erik Slagter]

Apparently not. Littlesat, are you going to commit this?
