In my brief experience of using an IP outside the UK (and therefore using a proxy), rtmpdump has required the UK IP (--socks parameter) if connecting to akamai or it will receive an access denied error. The entire video must go through the proxy. This isn't true of the limelight servers which work from any IP.
Has this always been true? I don't see an option within get_iplayer to pass the proxy on to rtmpdump if akamai is chosen and a proxy is being used. I've hacked it in for myself and akami worked, but wondered if there was an existing method that could handle akamai differently if using a proxy. Or perhaps an option to only use limelight servers no matter the "priority" in the mediaselector xml? _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
