There isn't a place in serviio console gui to add the -user_agent flag, but when used with ffmpeg it works perfectly. Can it be added to serviio? Without custom user agent ffmpeg gets 403 forbidden error. Thanks I looked at the documentation here:

https://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=add_live_feeds

but there is nothing about ffmpeg streams with flags or switches whatever you call the addition of options. Thanks in advance!

So for now you can only do it in a custom web resource plugin. YOu could write one, that will just use the URL you enter as a stream name, and use userAgent to pick it up.

Another option could be to use a ffmpeg wrapper script (and point to it via the -Dffmpeg.location system property) that will include the user agent you need.

OK thanks I will learn how groovy works and if I am successful will post it in the plugins area.
