No HTTP user-agent makes it hard for podcasters #21

Closed jamescridland closed 3 years ago

Describe the bug

This app does not seem to set an HTTP useragent for its audio player. This is bad, and means podcasters do not know what product is consuming their free content.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Listen to a podcast. The podcast publisher gets this as an HTTP useragent:

just_audio/0.2.0 (Linux;Android 6.0) ExoPlayerLib/2.12.2

This is the player within this app. It should be something like

Anytime/0.2.0 (Linux;Android 6.0) https://github.com/amugofjava/anytime_podcast_player

Expected behavior Send a correct HTTP useragent

Screenshots None

Smartphone (please complete the following information): I've no idea what smartphone this user is using, other than it appears to be running Android 6, so is very old.

Additional context

A full set of useragents are here: https://github.com/opawg/user-agents

I've spotted your app here: https://podnews.net/about/podcast-stats

Thanks @jamescridland for raising this bug. Have fixed it locally and will push an update as soon as possible. You should see a more appropriate user agent appear:

Anytime/0.2.1 (phone;Android 10) https://github.com/amugofjava/anytime_podcast_player
