Full Version: MPV external player 'referer' url issue

I have been able to configure MPV to be used as external player. However, when I am trying to play a file from Kodi containing extra 'referer' in the url, MPV just exits. Please find the sample url for the same below

http://184.72.239.149/vod/smil:BigBuckBu...i%2F537.36

This url works
http://184.72.239.149/vod/smil:BigBuckBu...ylist.m3u8


If I am delete the 'Referer' portion from the url, the url plays fine. Since the url is coming from within Kodi, I can't just delete it. Is there any other way wherein a url can be modified before sending to external player? I tried using VLC as external player too but it justs gives cannot open MRL error. Let me know if there is any solution for this.

Kodi version
mpv 0.29.1
Mac 10.14.6 
Kodi 18.3. (20190619-89472b7d69)
