| MediaFlow Proxy is a powerful and flexible solution for proxifying various types of media streams. It supports HTTP(S) links, HLS (M3U8) streams, and MPEG-DASH streams, including DRM-protected content. This proxy can convert MPEG-DASH DRM-protected streams to decrypted HLS live streams in real-time, making it one of the fastest live decrypter servers available. | |
| ## Features | |
| - Convert MPEG-DASH streams (DRM-protected and non-protected) to HLS | |
| - Support for Clear Key DRM-protected MPD DASH streams | |
| - Support for non-DRM protected DASH live and VOD streams | |
| - Proxy HTTP/HTTPS links with custom headers | |
| - Proxy and modify HLS (M3U8) streams in real-time with custom headers and key URL modifications for bypassing some sneaky restrictions. | |
| - Retrieve public IP address of the MediaFlow Proxy server for use with Debrid services | |
| - Support for HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 proxy forwarding | |
| - Protect against unauthorized access and network bandwidth abuses | |
| - Support for play expired or self-signed SSL certificates server streams `(verify_ssl=false)` default is `false` | |
| - Flexible request proxy usage control per request `(use_request_proxy=true/false)` default is `true` | |
| - Obfuscating endpoint parameters by encrypting them to hide sensitive information from third-party. | |
| - Optional IP-based access control restriction & expiration for encrypted URLs to prevent unauthorized access | |
| ## Configuration | |
| Set the following environment variables: | |
| - `API_PASSWORD`: Required. Protects against unauthorized access and API network abuses. | |
| - `PROXY_URL`: Optional. HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 proxy URL for forwarding network requests. | |
| - `ENABLE_STREAMING_PROGRESS`: Optional. Enable streaming progress logging. Default is `false`. | |

| ### Examples | |
| #### Proxy HTTPS Stream (without using configured proxy) | |
| ```bash | |
| mpv "http://localhost:8888/proxy/stream?d=https://jsoncompare.org/LearningContainer/SampleFiles/Video/MP4/sample-mp4-file.mp4&api_password=your_password&use_request_proxy=false" | |
| ``` | |
| #### Proxy HTTPS self-signed certificate Stream | |
| ```bash | |
| mpv "http://localhost:8888/proxy/stream?d=https://self-signed.badssl.com/&api_password=your_password&verify_ssl=false" | |
| ``` | |
| #### Proxy HLS Stream with Headers | |
| ```bash | |
| mpv "http://localhost:8888/proxy/hls/manifest.m3u8?d=https://devstreaming-cdn.apple.com/videos/streaming/examples/img_bipbop_adv_example_fmp4/master.m3u8&h_referer=https://apple.com/&h_origin=https://apple.com&h_user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/118.0.0.0 Safari/537.36&api_password=your_password" | |
| ``` | |
| #### Live DASH Stream (Non-DRM Protected) | |
| ```bash | |
| mpv -v "http://localhost:8888/proxy/mpd/manifest.m3u8?d=https://livesim.dashif.org/livesim/chunkdur_1/ato_7/testpic4_8s/Manifest.mpd&api_password=your_password" | |
| ``` | |
| #### VOD DASH Stream (DRM Protected) | |
| ```bash | |
| mpv -v "http://localhost:8888/proxy/mpd/manifest.m3u8?d=https://media.axprod.net/TestVectors/v7-MultiDRM-SingleKey/Manifest_1080p_ClearKey.mpd&key_id=nrQFDeRLSAKTLifXUIPiZg&key=FmY0xnWCPCNaSpRG-tUuTQ&api_password=your_password" | |
| ``` | |
| Note: The `key` and `key_id` parameters are automatically processed if they're not in the correct format. | |
| ### URL Encoding | |
| For players like VLC that require properly encoded URLs, use the `encode_mediaflow_proxy_url` function: | |
| ```python | |
| from mediaflow_proxy.utils.http_utils import encode_mediaflow_proxy_url | |
| encoded_url = encode_mediaflow_proxy_url( | |
| mediaflow_proxy_url="http://127.0.0.1:8888", | |
| endpoint="/proxy/mpd/manifest.m3u8", | |
| destination_url="https://media.axprod.net/TestVectors/v7-MultiDRM-SingleKey/Manifest_1080p_ClearKey.mpd", | |
| query_params={ | |
| "key_id": "nrQFDeRLSAKTLifXUIPiZg", | |
| "key": "FmY0xnWCPCNaSpRG-tUuTQ", | |
| "api_password": "your_password" | |
| }, | |
| request_headers={ | |
| "referer": "https://media.axprod.net/", | |
| "origin": "https://media.axprod.net", | |
| } | |
| ) | |
| print(encoded_url) | |
| # http://127.0.0.1:8888/proxy/mpd/manifest.m3u8?key_id=nrQFDeRLSAKTLifXUIPiZg&key=FmY0xnWCPCNaSpRG-tUuTQ&api_password=your_password&d=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.axprod.net%2FTestVectors%2Fv7-MultiDRM-SingleKey%2FManifest_1080p_ClearKey.mpd&h_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.axprod.net%2F&h_origin=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.axprod.net | |
| ``` | |
| This will output a properly encoded URL that can be used with players like VLC. | |
| ```bash | |
| vlc "http://127.0.0.1:8888/proxy/mpd/manifest.m3u8?key_id=nrQFDeRLSAKTLifXUIPiZg&key=FmY0xnWCPCNaSpRG-tUuTQ&api_password=dedsec&d=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.axprod.net%2FTestVectors%2Fv7-MultiDRM-SingleKey%2FManifest_1080p_ClearKey.mpd" | |
| ``` | |
| ### Generating Encrypted URLs | |
| To generate an encrypted URL with optional IP restriction and expiration, Use the `/generate_encrypted_or_encoded_url` endpoint via swagger UI or programmatically as shown below: | |
| ```python | |
| import requests | |
| url = "http://localhost:8888/generate_encrypted_or_encoded_url" | |
| data = { | |
| "mediaflow_proxy_url": "http://localhost:8888", | |
| "endpoint": "/proxy/mpd/manifest.m3u8", | |
| "destination_url": "https://media.axprod.net/TestVectors/v7-MultiDRM-SingleKey/Manifest_1080p_ClearKey.mpd", | |
| "query_params": { | |
| "key_id": "nrQFDeRLSAKTLifXUIPiZg", | |
| "key": "FmY0xnWCPCNaSpRG-tUuTQ" | |
| }, | |
| "request_headers": { | |
| "referer": "https://media.axprod.net/", | |
| "origin": "https://media.axprod.net", | |
| }, | |
| "expiration": 3600, # URL will expire in 1 hour | |
| "ip": "123.123.123.123", # Optional: Restrict access to this IP | |
| "api_password": "your_password" | |
| } | |
| response = requests.post(url, json=data) | |
| encrypted_url = response.json()["encoded_url"] | |
| print(encrypted_url) | |
| ``` | |
| You can then use the `encoded_url` in your player or application to access the media stream. | |
| ### Using MediaFlow Proxy with Debrid Services and Stremio Addons | |
| MediaFlow Proxy can be particularly useful when working with Debrid services (like Real-Debrid, AllDebrid) and Stremio addons. The `/proxy/ip` endpoint allows you to retrieve the public IP address of the MediaFlow Proxy server, which is crucial for routing Debrid streams correctly. | |
| When a Stremio addon needs to create a video URL for a Debrid service, it typically needs to provide the user's public IP address. However, when routing the Debrid stream through MediaFlow Proxy, you should use the IP address of the MediaFlow Proxy server instead. | |
| Here's how to utilize MediaFlow Proxy in this scenario: | |
| 1. If MediaFlow Proxy is accessible over the internet: | |
| - Use the `/proxy/ip` endpoint to get the MediaFlow Proxy server's public IP. | |
| - Use this IP when creating Debrid service URLs in your Stremio addon. | |
| 2. If MediaFlow Proxy is set up locally: | |
| - Stremio addons can directly use the client's IP address. | |
| ## Future Development | |
| - Add support for Widevine and PlayReady decryption | |
| ## Acknowledgements and Inspirations | |
| MediaFlow Proxy was developed with inspiration from various projects and resources: | |
| - [Stremio Server](https://github.com/Stremio/stremio-server) for HLS Proxify implementation, which inspired our HLS M3u8 Manifest parsing and redirection proxify support. | |
| - [Comet Debrid proxy](https://github.com/g0ldyy/comet) for the idea of proxifying HTTPS video streams. | |
| - [mp4decrypt](https://www.bento4.com/developers/dash/encryption_and_drm/), [mp4box](https://wiki.gpac.io/xmlformats/Common-Encryption/), and [devine](https://github.com/devine-dl/devine) for insights on parsing MPD and decrypting Clear Key DRM protected content. | |
