Re-streamer application for video/audio streams. It gets link that can't be handled by your device/software and restreams it with regular http.
Main purpose is to allow seamless integration of a different incompatible software and hardware.
It was created because of community request mainly.
This is part of another project: https://github.com/mesb1/xupnpd_youtube
Popular use cases:
- hardware players missing support for modern services like youtube, but compatible with IPTV (selenga hd980, wv t625a lan, etc)
- software content delivery services that lacks modern services support (xupnpd).
- Un-securing links, in case your player missing https support, this software removes https and provide necessary content via pure http.
- Provide content from modern services, by extracting (3rd party project yt-dlp is in use) direct link to video and streaming it to your software/hardware player.
- Proxy supported.
cd src && go build
- load fresh yt-dlp binary and put it in your system path
- make sure media files mp4 and m4a is also under the same directory where you run the app
- fix default config for custom options and my-extractor part (commentout if needed)
- start the yt-proxy app binary
- open your favorite player with this link:
