Custom User-Agent

[EnochTheWise]

Some providers give different playlists depending on http-user-agent string.

Please give an example so I can test it.

Unfortunately is only available from the ISP network. 8(
For example:
http://tv.novotelecom.ru/playlist
default get list with only city cameras

but with http-user-agent:
"Peers/1.9.2 Android/4.4.4 stb/Eltex NV501WAC.NV501WAC/NV501WAC.armeabi-v7a"
get list with all channels

[Cigaras]

Try opening init.py version 2.0.0 file with a notepad and adding this right after def Start()::

    HTTP.Headers['User-Agent'] = 'Peers/1.9.2 Android/4.4.4 stb/Eltex NV501WAC.NV501WAC/NV501WAC.armeabi-v7a'

So it looks like this:

def Start():
    HTTP.Headers['User-Agent'] = 'Peers/1.9.2 Android/4.4.4 stb/Eltex NV501WAC.NV501WAC/NV501WAC.armeabi-v7a'
    ObjectContainer.title1 = TITLE
    ObjectContainer.art = R('art-default.jpg')
    DirectoryObject.thumb = R('icon-folder.png')
    DirectoryObject.art = R('art-default.jpg')
    VideoClipObject.art = R('art-default.jpg')

If it works I'll add an option to the preferences.

But You must use version 2.0.0 or later, earlier versions do not fully utilize native HTTP API and wont work.

not working
com.plexapp.plugins.iptv.log:
http://pastebin.com/645EmFY4

but after two restarts worked as expected O.o

[Cigaras]

Uploaded a new version where user agent can be defined in preferences and it should work without restarting, please test:

[EnochTheWise]

Hmmm, i changed the settings but they do not apply.
I tried to change(and restart plex) the URL on the clearly non-existent but nothing has changed.
Although channels are displayed. О.о

OK then, should be fixed now, please test.

[EnochTheWise]

the channel information is not updated

PS Setting: "At what hour should plug-in reload the M3U files?" same is not updated, the log is empty at the designated time
PPS damned MD formating 8((

[Cigaras]

Please download new beta version, User-Agent is now set every time You try to play a video.

As for M3U file, log is not supposed to show anything after realoding the playlist, and You need to refresh the page, it wont refresh by itself, browsing back and forth should do the trick.

[EnochTheWise]

The latest beta works perfectly 8)
