Custom User Agent

[andekande]

Feature Request: In addition to the built in string, allow the user to set one.
Reason: Servers may require a certain content (usually App string) as part of user authentication.

Alternative: Parse the User-Agent from the m3u. Here is the format VLC understands:

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-name="TV Channel 1",TV Channel 1
#EXTVLCOPT:http-user-agent=MYAPP/1.0
http://a.b.c.d:8008/stream.ts|User-Agent=MYAPP/1.0

Hi @andekande, thanks for pointing this out. The commit e5eebb7 (release v16.7.6) now brings this improvement. App will recognize both proposed syntaxes.

Wow, that was a quick implementation.
However, list parsing seems to be broken now as I cant add my m3u.
Also, with the lists I already have imported it didn't work. I Did some code analysis and found this:
e5eebb7#r95076585

The derived classes never pass the new data object in, which renders getDefaultRequestHeaders() useless:
