coreplayer or tcpmp USER AGENT - Windows Mobile Apps and Games

Hello!I have a very hard question.
I need to set a custom user agent for that player.
My problem is this:
for example this webtv
http://mediapolis.rai.it/relinker/relinkerServlet.htm?cont=983
I can watch with vlc in pc only if set this in http(s)-user agent http
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009020911 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.6
How can I set this for open link with tcpmp or coreplayer?
thanks

Hi fenomeno83,
I found a way to transform in IPod agent,maybe can be useful for you:
http://ita.sourceforge.net/
and another:
http://www.teavuihuang.com/massstorsync/
maybe the IPod agent has priority allways over the TCPMP agent or other application
o other solution is to call Opera from webtv and apply this trick:
http://www.djtachyon.com/index.php?...-the-motorola-q&catid=37:motorola-q&Itemid=37

I think the previous sugestions do not work.
I could not find the way tcpmp manage the user agent, not even changing in the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Internet Settings/5.0/User Agent) the different keys, it seems it does not affect not even internet explorer mobile...
Howevere, I found a SOLUTION:
Using opera, you can change the user agent string: type "opera:config" in the Opera address bar and press ENTER, then scrolling down to the group "Network" you find the user agent string. It is not necessary to write down your entire string, I used for example, in place of the previuos one
SAMSUNG-SGH-i900/1.0 Opera 9.5
the following
SAMSUNG-SGH-i900/1.0 (compatible; Opera 9.5; Linux i686; it)
It seems, having made vatious tries, that what is important is only that "Linux i686".
Now you can type, or bookmark, the link you quoted (to the national italian tv web streaming) and open it succesfully in tcpmp!
P.S. as you could guess, I'm using a Samsung Omnia with windows mobile 6.1
P.P.S. if it's useful, the user agent can be checked in

[Q] Internet Surfing

Hi This my name is Camillo.
i have a question about my Hd2.
The problem is that if i am on the internet i always been directed to the mobile page, but isnt there a way so that i can go to the normal webpage. i wil really make things a lot easyer. sorry about my inglish. thank you in advance.
Your browser identifies itself as beeing a mobile device.
It is a service of the site to direct you to theit mobile version: less data transfer, less use of flash, silverlight and that kind of stuff.
Mostly those sites have a button to see the original site often at the top or at the bottom of the page.
Other possibility is to change your User Agent string (opera:config) to "Opera/9.64(Windows NT 5.1; U; en) Presto/2.1.1" (without quotes) note original user agent string before changing, so you can revert.
This identifies as a windows opera browser, but possibly websites will not be full functioning.
Also from the settings of the browser
tank you, but can you explain how to.do this to change the string
Just do what I do. Keep Google as a homepage and at the bottom of the page there is a mobile and 'classic' option, click the Classic and you are sorted.
There are registry fixes, but I can never be bothered to change the values and strings.
i have used the google option and it worked like a charm. tank you all for your time and answers.

[Q] Changing the default search engine

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for a way to change my HTC HD2's default search engine from google mobile to classic google. Both on the Internet tab on Sense and both on Opera's search.
Anyone knows how to do it?
Thanks in Advance, HTCOmnipotent
for the search box on the tab
208.100.42.21/showthread.php?p=6163771
for opera read up on changing the custom useragent.
Manilla solution works, But I've already changed my user-agent and it's not working.
I believe that it's because it doesn't search in google but sends a query to Opera's site which redirects to google mobile. The question is if there's a way around it?
Thanks for the quick reply, HTCOmnipotent.
i use opera 9.7 and just tested with custom user agent
Opera/9.80 (J2ME/MIDP; Opera Mini/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en) AppleWebKit/886; U; en) Presto/2.4.15
gives real google.
i think some opera versions as you say use the opera proxy, and isn't there a turbo mode in opera mini? think that would have the same effect.
however, i can't see that would matter, (other than for location dependant services) the proxy "should" pass on the user agent it gets given.
Maybe, but the redirecting link will always link to the mobile version. It's a server side thingy, has nothing to do with the user-agent.
heh well in that case all i can suggest is use opera 9.7, works for me
If you ARE on 9.7 then its something else.

[REQ] Opera Mobile 9.7 User Agent Cab

I found this intersting topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5786377#post5786377
"I've figured out how to get Opera Mobile 10 Beta 3 to only display websites in desktop view without getting redirected to a mobile version of the site. UPDATE: Works in Opera 10 Final too!
The first 2 steps are pretty common knowledge, but they don't work for all sites. It's the 3rd step that makes every website work for me.
Step 1: Set a custom user agent string
This tells websites what kind of device you are using to browse the site (desktop computer, smartphone, etc).
Goto opera:config -> User Prefs -> Custom User-Agent
Find a desktop user agent string, type it in, and save. I'm using the one from my Firefox browser on my home desktop (it can be found by clicking Help -> About Mozilla Firefox). Mine looks like this:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
You can use whatever string you can find that works. I've even seen people use an iPhone user agent to get iPhone versions of websites.
Step 2: Spoof a user agent ID
This tells websites what client you are using.
Goto opera:config -> User Agent -> Spoof User Agent ID
Type in the number corresponding to a browser to identify as that browser
Global values:
1 = Opera
2 = Mozilla
3 = Internet Explorer
Site-specific values:
4 = Mozilla, Opera not mentioned
5 = Internet Explorer, Opera not mentioned
Don't forget to save. I have mine set to 2, so websites think I'm using Firefox
Step 3: Set custom HTTP_Accept parameters
This one is hard to explain, but it basically tells the website which versions (i.e. desktop or mobile) are acceptable for viewing.
Goto opera:config -> Network -> HTTP Accept
Type this in exactly:
text/html, application/xml;q=0.9, application/xhtml+xml, application/x-obml2d, multipart/mixed, image/png, image/jpeg, image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, */*;q=0.1
Please note that this is just the default entry minus the one element that allows for mobile/wap viewing.
Also in the Network section, go to HostName Expansion Prefix and delete wap from the list. Remember to save. Exit the browser and everything should work like a desktop from now on! You can go to www.whatsmyuseragent.com to check and see if everything is right. If you still want to view mobile versions of sites, you'll have to type in the specific mobile URL for that site (I keep mobile versions of my bookmarks just in case I get stuck on EDGE or a slow connection).
Hope this helps! If anyone with web-coding experience would like to explain further or correct anything I did wrong, please be my guest!"
by Eman3000; thx!
It's really useful and it does work everywhere.
However it takes ages to do it everytime.. can anyone make this process a lot faster? like write a .cab and/or a .reg?
Thanks
Loved it!
Been looking for alternative browser for this sole reason. Nice and easy workaround (with proper credits given and a link to the source... you rock). Thanks for the share.
The opera repo thread is riddled with so much "spam" posts that I'm sure I'd have never found it. Definitely the most useful hack I read in quite a while.
EDIT: I used this in Opera 9.5. Did some digging and this info seems to be stored in opera.ini (stored in Application Data in Opera's folder... don't know if this is a constant over versions) which somewhat makes the cab method unfeasable (considering that it would affect all of the other user settings...). Also compared complete registry dumps and nothing was changed so the reg method is out. Would be however possible to Mortscript this (may need to be adapted according to Opera version which could be a pain).
EDIT2: Searched xda and found this. Took a peek with MSCEInf and found these cabs just change a few lines in the registry (no files). No for my version but may interest you.
you also can use my free software "UA_Change" :

Glad it helped!
the setting are stored in "opera.ini" you said..
how about a banal copy-paste from the old ROM to the new one of this file?
I also use opera 9.7, latest build. Are the setting still stored in the opera.ini file?
EDIT: Someone says yes.. someone no.. mhmhm... Anyone has a proven answer pls?
What's Mortscript?

What you said changes only the UA
In the process I wrote in the first post there's other tricks not related to the UA setting. Also I don't speak french
but thx.

[Q] Q: How to hide the Android ID to Websites/Server ?

Dear all,
hoping you can help me I would like to ask you, if you know how to change Android´s behaviour to identify itself against websites or the Exchange server ?
I don´t want to let anybody on the server side know, what device I do have/use.
Anybody an idea how to let my Android phone look like e.g. an Microsoft device to the exchange server ?
Thx,
Tequila
I am not sure I got what you're asking for...
I suppose you mean how to change the useragent, that is the string which tells the webserver who you are or, at least, what kind of browser you're using.
If you use opera mobile and turn the useragent into "desktop" the php code will drive you to the desktop version of the webpage, instead of the mobile one.
But still you'll be identified as one who's surfing the net with an android phone.
If you really want to turn yourself into something else and let the webserver believe that you're on windows explore or firefox for desktop or whatever you like, it's just a little bit more difficult.
You just have to write, instead of the URL,
opera: config
then you'll get a config-mask and look for
User Agent
tap on it a fill the "Spoof UserAgent ID" with the appropriate string, that you can easily find via a google search.

Android browser that emulates Internet Explorer??

I need to use Internet Explorer on my mobile devices for my job. My company's as well as a few client's secure websites as require Internet Explorer to work correctly. I need to log into those websites to access data while I am working out in the field. Those websites absolutely require Internet Explorer.
Those websites do not even work on Firefox on PC or Safari on Mac. So far only a coworker's Windows phone with Internet Explorer seems to works. Everyone else with iPhone, iPad and Android phone have not been able to use their mobile devices, and we all have to use a laptop with Windows, which seems to defeat the purpose of having a mobile device.
I know Android does not have Internet Explorer, but is there some browser that can emulate Internet Explorer on Android?

Try Dolphin Browser... and try to change UA to Internet Ex (i think)... or Boat Browser
Inviato dal mio GT-S5570 con Tapatalk 2
maybe out of the thread ..
but try out emulating a pc .. ?
Like using your mobile as a controller of the pc
else try Opera if yo haven't , change the user agent into Desktop
hope it works well for yo ..
You can try Dolphin Browser since you can enter a custom user agent so the website will think you are using IE. If its only built to work with IE's rendering engine you may have issues, but often times these sites are mostly functional in other browsers unless they need ActiveX.
This user agent string will tell the site you are using IE8 on XP

This is my 3rd post about what I'm trying to get suggestions on with a browser I have been given access to that works only on Windows 10 in windows devices but also on any Android or iOS devices. The view mode can be changed from Android, to Safari, and between desktop/mobile. Mentioning this because noticed it does emulate ie on desktop mode. Could be the answer.
It is MX5, the latest version to Maxthon Browser, and it is worlds ahead of anything available for Android. I am trying to get suggestions as to setting up a thread for availability and such, and am sure you would have to create an account through a Maxthon Browser download from playstore. Has cloud storage as well as syncing favorites, open tabs, between devices. Also has the ability to store webpages offline now in their entirety, or just extract pics, vids that can be modded for use in other ways. Also has what is called UUMail built in you name your own webserver, enter email address into and create shadow (alias) email addresses to use online that are filtered for spam. Adblocking is builtin as well.
If this seems to be an answer, try Maxthon Browser off playstore, create a user account and password. Even if you change the view mode in it to desktop and that does not fix the IE compatability problem, maybe this version, MX5 will.

Here similar problem, wish/need/pray to acces with android browser to old website made for IE 5.0 and javascript... Under PC I sue IE Tab... Try install add-onson Firefox for android, but not works...
(
I need the same thing, I have a dodge service manual cd that uses internet explorer 7 and under to run properly, I have used internet explorer in dev mode to run it it using ie 7, also on chrome I used IE tab extension and they both work great for windows. The problem is on android nothing works. I have tried every browser. I have also tried Yandex browser which supports add on and have installed ie tab but it does not work. I also tried Firefox and install ie tab using chrome store foxified but again it does not work. I wish there was a way of running this cd on android. I think it needs activex, netscape, svg viewer and java script.
