User-Agent #51

Closed null2264 closed 4 years ago

null2264 commented 4 years ago

Is there a way to change the user-agent permanently? I need it in order to open YouTube TV (i like to use it to just leanback and watch youtube without having to touch my mouse).

Instead of exposing an option to modify the user-agent I think it would be best to just add a home screen button for Youtube TV and have it auto override. I will look into this for ElectronPlayer v3 which will hopefully be out sometime soon. Which user-agent do you use, my research showed multiple and people reported some didn't work?

I'm using this user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (DirectFB; Linux x86_64) Cobalt/40.13031-qa (unlike Gecko) Starboard/1"

I need a way to change it as youtue will not allow log in anymore unless i change user agent to: Moillza/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.102 Safari/537.36 Edge/18.18362

Is there a way to change it and compile myself?

i vote to have ability to update the user-agent permanently as well. I have to reset it using dev tools each time I watch DC Universe. Agent string I am using for DC Universe is: "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.102 Safari/537.36 Edge/18.18362"

Yeah, I also finding a way to update the user-agent by modifying the source... But i don't have the experience on this programming language. And here's updated UserAgent string from LG : "Mozilla/5.0 (Unknown; Linux armv7l) AppleWebKit/537.1+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/537.1+ LG Browser/6.00.00(+mouse+3D+SCREEN+TUNER; LGE; 42LA660S-ZA; 04.25.05; 0x00000001;); LG NetCast.TV-2013 /04.25.05 (LG, 42LA660S-ZA, wired)" That may or may not helps the v3 development to put in Youtube TV

:100: agree with this.

The “YouTube™ for TV” browser extensions (for Chrome and for FF) currently use this UA:

Mozilla/5.0 (SMART-TV; Linux; Tizen 5.0) AppleWebKit/538.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 NativeTVAds Safari/538.1

(There's also a useful discussion thread of relevant UA strings on Reddit.)
