tunlr - dns service for accessing geo locked video content - rogerthis - 2013-02-24

http://tunlr.net/ Tunlr is a free dns proxy, for getting videos in geo locked sites in the UK and US.

http://tunlr.net/faq/supported-services-players/ - supported players

Here is the code to use tunlr in an addon, I have used bbc iplayer as an example:
Original code here https://github.com/oe-alliance/oe-alliance-plugins/blob/master/OnDemand/src/bbciplayer.py

You need import dnspython http://www.dnspython.org/

Code:
from dns.resolver import Resolver

Code:
if html1.find('notukerror') > 0:

            self.notUK = 1

            print "Non UK Address"

            opener = urllib2.build_opener(MyHTTPHandler)

            old_opener = urllib2._opener 

            urllib2.install_opener (opener)

            url2 = 'http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/4/mtis/stream/'+links

            #print 'url2',url2

            req = urllib2.Request(url2)

            req.add_header('User-Agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.3 Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3')

            response = urllib2.urlopen(req)

            html1 = str(response.read())

            response.close()

            urllib2.install_opener (old_opener)

Code:
class MyHTTPConnection(httplib.HTTPConnection):

    def connect (self):

        resolver = Resolver()

        resolver.nameservers = ['142.54.177.158']  #tunlr dns address

        answer = resolver.query(self.host,'A')

        self.host = answer.rrset.items[0].address

        self.sock = socket.create_connection ((self.host, self.port))

class MyHTTPHandler(urllib2.HTTPHandler):

    def http_open(self, req):

        return self.do_open (MyHTTPConnection, req)

What this code does is, when it is detected that you have an outside UK IP, it uses tunlr as your dns server. Then it turns it off again once the play url is found. And it will play using your own dns. So it not wasting tunlr dns unless it needs to.

This is great, can you make this into an addon?
Is this code meant to go into the iplayer addon directly somewhere?

More than great! Have someone tried it on the Vevo addon?

Where do I need to add the code posted here to?

Do you think you could work this "code" into your tunlr script and enable us to watch live BBC streams in XBMC's iPlayer addon?

This method works perfectly with Firefox and using Tunlr as DNS.

According to this thread http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=77500 it's already possible to modify an outgoing HTTP Header so I would assume this shouldn't be insanely difficult.
