HTTP Get issue

Closed this issue · 1 comments

I'm having an issue with a particular URL, with playlistLoader and Kodi I can't stream it. But with VLC I can.
Initially I thought was just a user-agent issue. But I can modify the user-agent of playlistLoader to look like VLC and vice versa with no change.

I took some captures and noted the following differences in the request.
I've redacted some bits and inserted a dummy token for privacy.

From VLC (with modified user-agent and working):

GET /REDACTED1/REDACTED2/REDACTED3?token=uql2neP8chMRvWvQV0h43xXVJy41jpmFS8LMoKQwwB9aSVEHsO6drC6rbFCe6AsaRgDXAPTKPjNADvpqdZsfnMw44ffOMvOfiKsSOaaivzrKKdNl4WyvkwIcSxrU6e7woMkPC8DSCZJT9MzkYms6G1xfadxz9QLINsGcyxhPImgwc4cTtut9ZYUPREZ5CDKAXVacqEzOenRTGZHDkr8sZ1ECzgHSAw6MqRyNf4lzvA4DKCSOryPgRukvXOK0U7gPZ4IRPkjqZwGWbiD1LSh6yGnJTao4llBT9rpzB2KNae2TZd3IDSepyGkMz76BtwXPwLZv9CjCviVICiLMqgiJI2FyvDmFv2NoI0HwpyXm5TCry HTTP/1.1

From Kodi/playlistLoader (not working):

I've had a look, but I cant quite see how to modify the request. I'd like to see if I can replicate some of the other difference, to see if I can debug and find the offending parameter.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

The server side, now has started to respond to the request. I have no explanation, why there was a period where it did not work with PlaylistLoader but did with VLC.

I will close the ticket. But can provide further captures on request.
