python proxy for m3u8 files

m3u8_proxy-cors

This is a simple Python proxy server that adds CORS headers to M3U8 playlist files. It allows you to bypass CORS restrictions when playing M3U8 playlists in browsers.

Installation

To install and run the server, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/shashstormer/m3u8_proxy-cors.git

2. Install dependencies:

   cd m3u8_proxy-cors
   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Start the server:

   python main.py

The server will start listening on port 5010 by default. You can change the port by setting the port environment variable

You may configure which domains can use this proxy by setting the origins environment variable, by default it will allow all origins for people who wish to use it just as the older version

You may enable or disable the documentation which is available on the /docs path by setting documentation as

• True to enable
• False to disable (Default)

you may also change the documentation url by setting the docs_url and redoc_url environment variable, default value is '/docs' and '/redoc' by default

• setting the value as '' (empty string) will remove the documentation (useful in cases when you want only one documentation)
• Setting the documentation env variable as False will remove both the documentation and these env variables will have no effect
• docs_url is for swagger documentation and redoc_url is for redoc documentation

Usage

To use the server, simply replace the URL of the M3U8 playlist file in your application with the URL of the proxy server. For example, if your original URL was https://example.com/video.m3u8, you would replace it with http://localhost:5010/cors?url=https://example.com/video.m3u8.

To set custom headers for a request you can do http://localhost:5010/cors?url=https://example.com/video.m3u8&headers={"User-Agent":"Mozilla/5.0 ...","referer":"https://example.com",...}

don't put spaces between the headers (you can put it inside the quotes) you might get a 500 error,
