using a proxy

[isopor]

I like watching Iplayer podcasts. But for this, I have to configure my Windows XP to use an UK proxy server.
The problem is that when I do that all my internet browsing will use that proxy.
Is there a way to tell WMS to use an specific proxy instead of relying on system configuration?
Or maybe is there to configure the Windows proxy to be used only for specific destinations/program?

You can change IPlayer script (BBC iPlayer-Edit title-Script for the links to the resource-Edit script)

Code: Select all

const
  HTTPREQUEST_PROXYSETTING_PROXY          = $00000002;  
  HTTPREQUEST_SETCREDENTIALS_FOR_SERVER   = $00000000;
  HTTPREQUEST_SETCREDENTIALS_FOR_PROXY    = $00000001;  

  ProxyServer   = '127.0.0.1:8000';  
  ProxyUserName = '';  
  ProxyPassword = '';

function WmsDownloadURL(const aURL: string): string;
var 
  WinHttp: Variant;
begin
  WinHttp := CreateOleObject('WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1');  
  WinHttp.Open('GET', aURL);
  if ProxyServer <> '' then begin
    WinHttp.SetProxy(HTTPREQUEST_PROXYSETTING_PROXY, ProxyServer);
    if ProxyUserName <> '' then
      WinHttp.SetCredentials(ProxyUserName, ProxyPassword, HTTPREQUEST_SETCREDENTIALS_FOR_PROXY);
  end;      
  WinHttp.Send(Null);
  Result := WinHttp.ResponseText
end;
....

It sounds good. This is what I need. I added this to the beginning of the script and updated the proxyserver, proxyusername and proxypassword accordingly.

When I test locally it (test transcoding/default device) it works. But when I try it from the TV I get an error. It doesn't even start the download. Nothing appears on the temp folder. I got a quick DOS window that closes right away.

Looking the log I found this suspicious:
"22:25:03.951 [Transcoding] Sender: TWmsTranscodingThread.Execute
Access violation at address 00AA9771 in module 'wms.exe'. Read of address 49005868
"

I also tried the script with other working podcast (not iplayer). I used blanks for proxy server and username and then it failed to work either.

Can you see what is wrong? Anything I could try?
Thanks

Yes, unfortunately when you play on your device it will not work (problem with CreateOleObject). This will be possible in the next version.

Thanks. I am looking forward to it then.
