Script to bypass and FiX apple trailers Quicktime user agent check

Hello,

Apple has implemented a Quicktime user agent check prior before viewing trailers.

Which poses a big problem for Linux users.


ex: http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/weinstein/theimitationgame/

offending script : browserdetect.js - http://pastie.org/9827880


Can anyone submit greasemonkey userscript to bypass and FiX this check?!

Thank you.

I guess a temporary solution would be the one described here: https://monkeyguts.com/code.php?id=167

Hi wOxxOm,
thank you for your reply but i don't want to download, i still install for testing ...

after i have insttall "Apple Trailer Download HD+" not work for me :-/
i have the box with .mov download links (420p, 720p & 1080p) but if i clic the link return me to the home //trailers.apple.com/



using "wget" to download .mov file download the ".html" source code of home page.

The problem is that this script requires addons like UAControl to fake user agent ...

if I wanted to install addon to fake UA why i ask if it is possible via greasemonkey userscript ?

note:
to download using wget i use "-U" to change the user agent string.
ex:
wget -U QuickTime/7.6.2 http://[apple-trailers-url]/movie-trailer.mov

Best regards,
@SMed79
