Creates a permanent link for the live feed (HLS/m3u8) of a Youtube channel

youtube-hls-m3u8's Introduction

Many public broadcasts are now available on YouTube as live videos. I was looking for a way to add these to my Android TV as digital channels. As a result, I created this service to get the live feed of a YouTube video as an HLS or M3U streaming link. I then add it as a channel to any IPTV client. If you are interested, here is a GitHub repository with a list of channels available on YouTube.

Although I have taken great care to keep the service stable, please note that the service is currently hosted on a basic tier of a cloud provider to keep the cost minimal. It might not have sufficient resources to handle numerous requests at a time. If you need a stable service, I would suggest you deploy this service with your cloud provider. An executable of this service is available at my blog.

Youtube IPTV Channels

It creates a permanent link for a Youtube live channel or video, which adds it to any IPTV client.

For a Youtube Channel

It picks up the live feed of a YouTube channel. It works well when a YouTube channel has a single live feed or goes live frequently. It does not work when a channel has multiple live feeds simultaneously. Please use the video link for this case.

# format of the link
https://ythls-v2.onrender.com/channel/$youtube_channel_id.m3u8

# example
https://ythls-v2.onrender.com/channel/UCt4t-jeY85JegMlZ-E5UWtA.m3u8

For a Youtube Video

It picks up the live feed of a YouTube video. The video should be live for it to work.

# format of the link
https://ythls-v2.onrender.com/video/$youtube_video_id.m3u8

# example

youtube-hls-m3u8's Issues

Could you please give an instruction about deploying on any other cloud server?

Hello abskmj,

The repository Youtube-HLS-m3u8 is very good, and help me a lot when using the ythls.onrender.com permanent link. As you said, it would be better to deply it on other cloud server in order to save resources to onrender.com.

Could you please give out guides or instructions for the deployment? Such as, when we get a new Linux server from any cloud provider, any commands need to input? any prerequirement libraries need to install? or using any docker image environment?

Many thanks,

Not working
