The referer header specified using the
--referer
commandline option is now used in all network
requests, including requests for media segments. Previously, the referer specified on the
commandline was only used to retrieve the MPD manifest, and the referer header used in network
requests for media segments was the URL of the MPD manifest, updated to account for any HTTP
redirects and for use of the DASHLocation
redirect functionality. The new behaviour allows the
user to mimic the behaviour of a web browser which is playing media embedded in a web page. -
Cookies set while retrieving the MPD manifest will be included in requests for media segments.
In practice, media servers rarely check cookies, as doing so is expensive on CDN infrastructure,
but this should help to mimic the behaviour of a web browser which is playing media embedded in a
web page. -
