Proxy is ignored when grabbing HLS chunks - jhol - 2015-12-06
Hi Folks,
I've running into a little problem while trying to access an HLS stream through a stream-specific HTTP proxy server.
To demonstrate this I have a strm file that looks like this:
Code:
http://walterebert.com/playground/video/hls/sintel-trailer.m3u8|httpproxy=http://example.com:3128Now when I connect to the stream it plays ok, but the issue is that the only the HLS playlist is being requested via the proxy, not the chunks.
Here is a Wireshark capture showing the problem:

I suppose the issue is to do with Kodi not forwarding the proxy config to the code that requests the playlist items. Is this a bug? or is there a way to make this work right now? If it's an reasonably easy fix, I'm happy to work on a patch if someone can suggest where the relevant code is located.
Any suggestuins?
Thanks
jhol!
