URL-GUIDE

Tutorial

First, start LiveProxy on your system.

$ liveproxy
[main][INFO] For LiveProxy support visit https://github.com/back-to/liveproxy
[main][INFO] Starting server: 127.0.0.1 on port 53422

host and port can be changed with --host / --port

$ liveproxy --host 0.0.0.0 --port 12345
[main][INFO] For LiveProxy support visit https://github.com/back-to/liveproxy
[main][INFO] Starting server: 0.0.0.0 on port 12345

Now that LiveProxy is running, you will have to create a valid URL.

For the examples here, 53422 is used as default port.

CMD

If needed, you can use quote for special characters https://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.parse.html#urllib.parse.quote

liveproxy's Issues

Allowed IP

Hi,

Thanks i have been using this to restream some stuff from twitch and Dailymotion.

Now i notice some streams that i have not started are running in background.

Anyone who has my port and IP can start pulling streams.
Can we implement option like.
Allowed US : Only allowed user-agents allowed.
Allowed IP: Only allow client to play if clients ip is in allowed list.

Also i have a custom made yt-dlp i.e yt-pro
now liveproxy doesn't understand yt-pro and solutions.

Simple Web UI with URL drop field for headless server?

Hi, FOA, thanks a lot for this amazing complement to streamlink.
The addition of the CMD interface is amazing as it simplifies liveproxy a lot for using it remotely (ie browsing for sites on a client, and then launching liveproxy/streamlink without having to convert to base64).

Going one step further in simplify this use case, would it be possible to implement a mini/simple web UI with a drop field to just paste the desired URL for liveproxy to launch it with some predetermined params? (ie. in my headless case --player-external-http params)

Thanks again.

Liveproxy 1.0.0

hello dear @back-to

i use LiveProxy 1.0.0 on enigma2 system

What do you think could be the source of the following problem?

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/liveproxy", line 10, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/liveproxy/main.py", line 117, in main httpd = ThreadedHTTPServer((HOST, PORT), HTTPRequest) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/SocketServer.py", line 420, in __init__ File "/usr/lib/python2.7/BaseHTTPServer.py", line 108, in server_bind File "/usr/lib/python2.7/SocketServer.py", line 434, in server_bind File "/usr/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 228, in meth socket.error: [Errno 125] Address already in use

[Question] Any plan for releasing windows standalone version?

Standalone versions would be helpful running liveproxy real quick on a local machine similar to streamlink.

CElementTree causes exception when used in plugin

Hi @back-to, this is the same bug I was trying to explain here streamlink/streamlink#2366.

I am able to reproduce the behaviour on a clean Leia 18.1 install and with your script.module.streamlink v 1.0.0 installed from your repo. When trying to call a plugin that parses XML with ElementTree, it breaks when calling the compiled version CElelementTree in utils_init_.py.

The detailed error with url http://www.rtve.es/directo/canal-24h is:

DEBUG: Traceback (most recent call last):

When commenting out the compiled library all is fine. And it seems this problem has been around for some time: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=185315.

I made a small addon for testing: SL RTVE Plugin tester

Thanks in advance for checking.

if it is an issue with streamlink, report it there

i know vlc via command line allows for output to stdout

share an example

Originally posted by @back-to in #32 (comment)

I know for sure its an issue with streamlink but its more todo with the way the mpd is is layed out

what i would like to know is would it be possible to add vlc as a program for usage by this software as i assume it may take streamlink sometime to fix the issue if even ever but i know for sure vlc works perfect so if possible to use that then it fixies the issue right away and expands the script to work with more systems and provides more options

standard vlc output is just like streamlink and youtube-dl

vlc {INPUT} --sout="#std{mux=mp4,access=file,dst=-}"

Seek in video

Hi @back-to,
Is it possible to add support for seek in video?
When I open YouTube video in mpv+youtube-dl (actually SMPlayer but it doesn't matter) I can jump to arbitrary timestamp and video starts to play on that timestamp almost immediately.
When I open the very same video using LiveProxy's url and jump to the same timestamp video hangs. It made sense when there was only live streaming using streamlink. But with youtube-dl support it's natural to select timestamp in video.

Liveproxy kodi

Will liveproxy for kodi (matrix) ever come back?

More details in logs

Hello,

Is that possible to get more details in liveproxy's logs (when using "service liveproxy status" command for example) ? I would need to know which URLs have been opened using liveproxy.

Currently, we only have these infos :

févr. 22 05:56:12 SERVER IP liveproxy.sh[484]: [server.5a06c][INFO] User-Agent: CLIENT_USERAGENT
févr. 22 05:56:12 SERVER IP liveproxy.sh[484]: [server.5a06c][INFO] Client: ('CLIENT_IP', 38294)
févr. 22 05:56:12 SERVER IP liveproxy.sh[484]: [server.5a06c][INFO] Address: CLIENT_IP
févr. 22 05:56:12 SERVER IP liveproxy.sh[484]: [server.5a06c][INFO] Stream started xxxx
févr. 22 05:56:14 SERVER IP liveproxy.sh[484]: [server.5a06c][INFO] Stream ended xxxx

Is it possible to know which URL was opened by the client (http://SERVER_IP:53422/cmd/streamlink%20__URL__%20__PARAMETERS__) ?

Thanks!

Any plans to make this an Android App?

Would it be possible to convert this to an android application, where you can use the androids built in Share system to send video links to streamlink?

Streams stop instantly

Ok so i am using this on a custom project to convert my signals from a few of my recivers into stream supported for web streaming via my own custom web player

I have a cheap pc converted into a ubuntu server that has live proxy on it when i open ssh i can start liveproxy and everything runs as normal but the moment i close the ssh session the proxy stops

to save my self constantly having to login to ssh to start and stop the proxy i have decided to add a buttoninto my web player using jquery and php to handel starting the proxy using exec in php the proxy seems to start fine shows as active in terminal and outputs fine to the log file i have set

but when i start a stream it says its starting then instantly stops and thats the end of that as its a local server i do have streamproxy running as root so i dont see it being a permissions issue.

when i enable debug loggin it dosent really print out much more information than

[server.8b82f][INFO] User-Agent: VLC/3.0.16 LibVLC/3.0.16 [server.8b82f][INFO] Client: ('00.00.000.000', 55836) [server.8b82f][INFO] Address: 00.00.000.000 [server.8b82f][DEBUG] Video-Software: /usr/local/bin/streamlink [server.8b82f][DEBUG] ['streamlink', 'http://localhost/device/tbsocta/1f7b8a15201545c6a10d5b50db', 'best', '--stdout', '--loglevel', 'none'] [server.8b82f][INFO] Stream started 8b82f [server.8b82f][DEBUG] Traceback (most recent call last): [server.8b82f][DEBUG] File "/usr/local/bin/streamlink", line 7, in <module> [server.8b82f][INFO] Stream ended 8b82f

as it works fine in ssh i am guessing its because it starting in php using exec so would it be possible to demon this project so itall ways runs in the background and then i dont need to try enable it this way

Kodi support, mpv for m3u8 link changes resolution?

Hey back-to !

Stumbled here googling...

1. My main concern is converting video sources, e.g. youtube, to run on VLC and Kodi via .m3u/8 conversion or other. And then avoiding link changes if possible !

I read on Reddit that streamlink set to mpv will handle any m3u8 link changes on the fly:
https://www.reddit.com/r/commandline/comments/g4y0uv/create_m3u_from_permanent_youtube_streaming_link/fo0yprf/

2. So how can I set this up using liveproxy on Kodi 18/19, and for VLC on Windows PC?
3. Is there a way to reduce (youtube/ other site?) streaming delays?

Cheers,
Shippy.

Create links for youtube-dl commands

Hi!
LiveProxy can convert m3u files encoding streamlink <url> commands to LiveProxy base64 urls. Some time ago was added support for base64 generated from youtube-dl commands.
How do I create these urls? Is it possible to add support for encoding youtube-dl commands using liveproxy --file FILE?

.m3u8.new as playlist input for WordPress embedded video players

Hi again,

This time I wonder about various WordPress embedded video players that all use hls.js as backend for their m3u8 playlists URLs:
https://wpneon.com/best-wordpress-video-player-plugins/
For example, #5,7,9, and also Presto player.
Many players can only stream YouTube in iframes, and not as part of mixed playlist.

I don't think we can use a playlist as input that has streamlink or pipe commands to convert the YouTube URLs etc.

1. So can we use liveproxy .m3u8.new output file as playlist for above video players ?

Of course you will have to install WordPress+ embedded player plugins and Streamlink + liveproxy on the Linux server.

2. Will streamlink then automatically return the HLS streams to the embedded video player and update the YouTube URL/m3u8 link changes periodically ( one hour)?

Cheers 😸,
Shippy.

Redirect Streamlink to VLC for Android on local network

Hello, I'm trying to redirect the stream from Streamlink on my PC (Windows/Linux, dual boot) to watch it on VLC on my Android phone.

My first problem is that it seems like liveproxy's stream it's not accessible from my local network.

My second problem is that VLC on Windows can't play liveproxy's stream, so I'm curious if VLC for Android can.

I use Streamlink with VLC on my PC, and I just want to watch the stream from my phone without needing to install Termux or something similar.

It's seems like an easy task, but I can't get it to work.

Thanks.

Suggestion: Server the m3u from liveproxy

Hello, this is a suggestion.

In addition to the creation of the m3u file by passing the option --file why not add the option to serve the list from the liveproxy itself.

Example:
Current behaviour: liveproxy --file example.m3u
This generates a example.m3u.new with all the magic :) But I have to manually copy this file somewhere

Desired behaviour. Appart from the default, something like:
liveproxy --file example.m3u --output http
So you can have the list in a endpoint like:
http://0.0.0.0:12345/example.m3u

You can use liveproxy either acting as a proxy aswell as serving the m3u file.

Maybe a clean way to organise that:
liveproxy --file example.m3u --output example.m3u.new (writes to disk, like it does now)
liveproxy --file example.m3u --output http (serves the list from liveproxy)

Regards!

Python is not part of my toolbox to trace/debug further, but checked the regex online if its caused by my Dockerfile setup. It seems to be working on the online regex site

Support for Kodi 19 Matrix / Python3

Hi, I've gotten this to work pretty well on Kodi 18 but would like to upgrade the PVR addon to a new version (18 only has version 3.9.8 vs 19 is now up to 7.1.0 with tons of new features).
I was able to test out Kodi 19 and the updated plugin but noticed I can't install liveproxy due to Python incompatibility.

Generating a new file

Hello,
First thank you for thisd piece of software, very helpful.

I'm having an issue while creating a new file using the command
liveproxy --file filename.m3u

The new generated file contains the default URL http://127.0.0.1:53422/ while in my case liveproxy listens on an external interface:port so I have to modify the m3u manually each time.
Any way to specify the URL within the command itself?

Thanks.

No image on youtube stream in enigma2 (only audio)

Followed the installation procedure.
Tried a live streaming youtube link (i.e. euronews en).
The audio play well, there is no image (black).

Hi have some issue on my liveproxy Server on my local network, well it has worked fine for month maybe for a entire year,
But now i'm getting this error

the streamer was live at that moment and not able to grab the m3u the same for ESL_CSGO and all the others i have.

pip 20.3.3 from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pip (python 3.6)

not sure how, but if there is a way to update the streamlink package using this method it will be nice to tell us how.

My installation method.

git clone --depth 1 --branch 1.0.0  git://github.com/back-to/liveproxy.git liveproxy
 cd liveproxy
 python setup.py install

using this method it uses the 2.7 path of python but with pip install . it install on the 3.6 path i guess the 2.7 is deprecated i read some message when i deployed a other app btw.

if i install using pip i get this.

  File "/usr/local/bin/liveproxy", line 5, in <module>
    from liveproxy.main import main
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/liveproxy/main.py", line 15, in <module>

    from streamlink.compat import is_py2, is_win32
ImportError: cannot import name 'is_py2'

because i guess this is using python3.6 and your project only works on 2.7

the actual master branch is not working because it talks about MacOS things and etc... so i don't used this one.

Resuming: if you tell me how can i update the Streamlink it will be nice "using the installation above git......", and also how i can unintall the allready installed package using the method above, and how can i set the env to use python2.7 when installing pip packages btw i will not use pip i will install install it by python setup.py install

Kind Regards

[Question] There is a way to do some temp cache before streaming through the liveproxy ?

Hi, @back-to there is some way to do a little of cache before streaming the content, i ask this because my tv get some freezes when i use liveproxy from twitch content, so i use a player that allow me to cache a bit before playing the live from twitch, so instead of using the cache i really would like to do cache from the rapberry pi to prevent freezes and doing it from my rapberry pi instead of my player, maybe a command from streamlink but i didn't find nothing.

Can you help me with this ?
I just need a little cache so maybe 10 - 20 seconds of caching the content to be ready for use at any moment, i have tested it and looks like the live proxy grab the m3u8 links great without issues, i just need some way to do caching of the content. 10-20 seconds will be good.

Kind Regards

Using vlc instead of streamlink ?

Hi i have an mpd that is number based when i open the mpd directly in vls it plays perfectly fine but when i open it using streamlink it returns content from the past because segments are cached for 24 hours i can only assume streamlink is calculating the number wrong for the mpd representation

i know vlc via command line allows for output to stdout so would it be possible to update this application to use vlc as a play option as well as streamlink and yt-dl ?

Broadcast same live stream to multiple clients

Hi @back-to,
First of all, thank you for liveproxy, been using it recently, quite a clever approach to the problem!

Since liveproxy targets live streams, I thought it would be a good enhancement to re-use the same command output for multiple clients, instead of opening multiple connections to the same upstream. Although I understand it might make the implementation a little bit more complex, I think it might make sense for use cases where you don't have something like TVHeadend consuming liveproxy's stream (and broadcasting it).

What do you think?

Again, thank you for this project and idea!

wrong streamlink version

While installing liveproxy replaces streamlink-1.0.0 with streamlink-0.14.2. This is wrong - it doesn't work, issuing "[liveproxy-server][error] No playable streams found on this URL:" Removing 0.14.2 and re-installing streamlink-1.0.0 back after installing of liveproxy gets it working right way.
