Code:
hexdump -ve '1/1 "%.2x"' libcdda_plugin.dll | sed "s/2f7e636464622f636464622e63676900/2f636464622f656e0000000000000000/g" | xxd -r -p > libcdda_plugin.dll.patched
2f636464622f656e0000000000000000 is "/cddb/en" (padded with NULL bytes)
This seems to generate the right query, but now fails for a different reason:
Default buffer size is 1K, which VLC apparantly never changes. At this point it's probably easier to build your own binary...
EDIT: I can confirm that increasing the buffer to 2K does the trick. |
Thank you so much for going into this much depth. I have set the server to vgmdb.net, port to 80, and replaced both occurrences of "2f7e636464622f636464622e63676900" with "2f636464622f656e0000000000000000" in the appropriate dll. How do I change the buffer size to 2k? I am on Windows (10). Kind regards.
