I am working on something that needs (at least) a specific HTTP header to be set (might also need some cookies) to get a protected stream to play. The stream is only available via HLS.
I can make the stream work using mplayer -http-header-fields. The header name is fixed but the contents is variable (I have not determined if the change of the value is per stream launch or on a longer timer that I can provide outside). I was thinking that one way to achieve it would be to append something to the URL that is used to launch things and then have PlayHLS create header from it and strip it. something like hls:streamer.com/protectedtream.m3u8?headerlist=name1=value1,name2=value2 Any thoughts?
