Change Header in url works for Curl but not ffmeg.

Posted on Author Kodi Community Forum - All Forums

Hi, I m trying to read a m3u file that need a special UA. So I ‘m passing this url to the player.

Code:
www.site.com/file.m3u|User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_0 like Mac OS X; en-us

And It works for the first part, but inside this file there is fragments, and for this one kodi use the header

Code:
10:11:20.109 T:1480   DEBUG: ffmpeg[5C8]: [http] User-Agent: Lavf/57.41.100

There is a way to change this header too ?

Code:

After some research, I have see this a problem with ffmeg and some strange url, but I don’t see what I m doing wrong. I have also tried with encoded url.
I m using Win 7 with V17 RC1, but I think it’s same on other system.
