How to add custom proxy settings per Web Page using the Advanced Player Directives

There are cases where custom proxy settings are required to access a specific Web Page. For example a dashboard. The rest of the player connections will not use the proxy.

Consider the following example:

Your dashboard on dashboard.example.com can only be accessed through the following HTTP proxy:

• Proxy: myproxy.example.com
• Port: 3128
• Username: user
• Password: pass

You can configure this under the Advanced Player Directives ( Monitor configuration→ Advanced → Customization → Advanced Player Directives ) using the following directive:

custom_proxy_settings={ "dashboard.example.com" : { "username" : "user" , "password" : "pass" , "proxy" : "myproxy.example.com" , "no_proxy" : "static.example.com" }}

Make sure your directive is a single line of text when pasting it to the Advanced Player Directives field.
