[BUG] 403 error when playing URL with token parameter

History check Checked

Describe the bug Used Video Player package and this URL plays fine. Sounds like I could be missing something in configuration. I have verified the URL and it does pull m3u8 file so it is definitely not URL issue. I could be wrong, but seems like better player is trying to parse URL and may be pulling out token because when I hit URL without token from my browser, I get 403.

To Reproduce Use some video URL like http://hostname/file.m3u8?token=123234234&expires=1643425160

*Example code

    BetterPlayerConfiguration betterPlayerConfiguration =
        BetterPlayerConfiguration(
      controlsConfiguration: BetterPlayerControlsConfiguration(
        showControls: false,
      ),
      aspectRatio: 16 / 9,
      fit: BoxFit.contain,
      autoPlay: true,
      subtitlesConfiguration: BetterPlayerSubtitlesConfiguration(
        backgroundColor: Colors.transparent,
        fontColor: Colors.white,
        outlineColor: Colors.black,
        fontSize: 11.toDouble(),
      ),
    );
    betterPlayerController = BetterPlayerController(betterPlayerConfiguration);
    BetterPlayerDataSource dataSource = BetterPlayerDataSource(
        BetterPlayerDataSourceType.network, "http://hostname/file.m3u8?token=123234234&expires=1643425160",
        liveStream: (widget.channel == null) ? false : true);
    betterPlayerController.setupDataSource(dataSource);
    hideControllers();

If it helps, the url I'm using is a Livestream url.

@han9over Is this issue still relevant? Can you share your video url?

@han9over Is this issue still relevant? Can you share your video url?

yes. it's still happening and unfortunately I cannot share the video URL. As a workaround, I'm directly using VideoPlayer and it works with that URL. But better player cannot play. if you are unable to replicate, feel free to close the issue.
