In this article we explain how to configure a proxy so that Brandtrack Player App can connect to the internet on corporate networks that require it.
On some corporate networks it is necessary to use a proxy to allow Brandtrack Player App to connect correctly. This configuration is done by manually editing the application's configuration file.
Before you start
- Permissions to edit files on the device where Brandtrack Player App is installed.
- Your proxy details: hostname, port, username, and password (if applicable).
- The correct version of Brandtrack Player App installed.
Download the required version of the application: https://app.brandtrack.fm/
Steps to configure the proxy
- Install or download version 1.16.3 of Brandtrack Player App from the link above.
- Open the application configuration directory located at: %AppData%/Brandtrack/
- Inside that directory, find the file: Brandtrack Player.ini
This file contains the Brandtrack Player App configuration and allows you to modify advanced settings that are not available in the graphical interface.
- Open the Brandtrack Player.ini file with a text editor.
- 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
[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.
