I've written a plugin which connects over the internet to a site, retrieves an mms stream URL and plays live streaming using that url. It runs fine on my 10.1 installation on win 7. On the same Win7 I've installed the newest nightly build of xbmc. When I run the same plugin on that version I get a stream with blocked message from the site supplying the stream.
The way that site protects itself is via a cookie which I get from the page. To get that cookie I basically go to a page, retrieve a video Id, call on another page (which in a browser is shown as the player Iframe) using the found id, and from that page I get a url for a playlist and get the cookie to add to the playlist call in order to retrieve the right mms stream list (and not the list with the blocked message)
I would appreciate if anyone has an idea of what could cause a difference between the two versions. I'm thinking cookie management, but I don't know, and I don't know how to check.
