Proxy Configuration for the app

In some corporate networks, it is necessary to use a proxy to allow Brandtrack Player App to connect to the internet and play music correctly. This configuration is done by manually editing the application's configuration file.

Before you start

Before performing this configuration, make sure you have:

• Permissions to edit files on the device where Brandtrack Player App is installed

• Your proxy data (hostname, port, username, and password if applicable)

• The correct version of Brandtrack Player installed

Download the required version of the application:
https://app.brandtrack.fm/BrandtrackPlayer_1.16.3.0.exe

Steps to configure the proxy

1. Install or download version 1.16.3 of Brandtrack Player from the link above.

2. Open the application configuration directory located at:
   %AppData%/Brandtrack/

3. Inside this directory, look for the file:
   Brandtrack Player.ini

This file contains the configuration of Brandtrack Player App and allows modifying some advanced features that are not available in the graphical interface or in BrandtrackDiagnostics.

4. Open the file Brandtrack Player.ini with a text editor.

5. Add or edit the proxy section with the following values:

[proxy]
enabled=true
type=<string, "http" (default), "httpcaching" or "socks5">
hostname=<url, default: "localhost">
port=<port number, default: 8080>
user=<string, proxy username>
password=<string, proxy password>
forceDisable=<true/false>

Configuration example

Below is an example of how the configuration should look once customized:

[proxy]
enabled=true
type=http
hostname=proxy.mired.local
port=8080
user=juan.fernandez
password=Asdf1234
forceDisable=false
 

Important notes

• The proxy type can be set as http, httpcaching, or socks5.

• If the proxy does not require authentication, the user and password fields can be left empty.

• After saving the changes, restart Brandtrack Player App to apply the new configuration.
