Provide Server Proxy details by Playlist

[adamsdavis572]

Im using m3u-filter in reverse proxy mode and its working really well. Thanks very much.

I have an additional feature that would be useful. I would like to access the m3u-filter proxy on 2 different URLs ie m3u-filter.example.com and m3u-filter.local.example.com. This is necessary because i have an ISP that only offers CGNAT and i want to be able to access the service outside of my house as well as inside. i therefore have to use a VPS - this is the entry point for m3u-filter.example.com. when at home i dont want to route via VPS so have a different address.

Would it be possible to add server proxy details at Playlist level? This would allow me to support this configuration but simply using different user credentials for internal url vs external urls.

@adamsdavis572 i will try to find time this weekend, i am currently very busy.

İ will think about a solution, maybe playlist or user based.

@adamsdavis572 i have pushed the branch feature/api_proxy_multiple_serverinfo.

Can you test it?

You need to change the api-proxy.yml like:

server:
  - name: default 
    protocol: http
    host: 192.168.0.3
    http_port: 80
    https_port: 443
    rtmp_port: 0
    timezone: Europe/Paris
    message: Welcome to m3u-filter
  - name: external
    protocol: http
    host: my_external_domain.com
    http_port: 80
    https_port: 443
    rtmp_port: 0
    timezone: Europe/Paris
    message: Welcome to m3u-filter
user:
  - target: pl1
    credentials:
      - {username: x3452, password: ztrhgrGZ, token: 4342sd, proxy: reverse, server: external}
      - {username: x3451, password: secret, token: abcde, proxy: redirect}

I know that you set xtream_skip_live_direct_source and xtream_skip_video_direct_source to true.

If not you should, because the player can access the direct-source attribute and ignore the server info.

If you use https, you need a ssl terminator, m3u-filter does not support https traffic.

many thanks for this. tested and appears to be working however when viewing via Smarters it takes approx 10 seconds for the stream to load - there is an error message - 'Playback error, reconnects in 3s' 1/5 - that appears after 10s then the stream loads and plays normally. The first thing that appears in the log is the below (it appears after approx 10 seconds).

[2024-01-29T20:56:11Z DEBUG m3u_filter::api::xtream_player_api] Try to open stream http://<iptv-provider>:8080/<username>/<password>/647266 ....

any thoughts

OK so I tested again this morning and no pause. I guess this was an issue with my iptv provider. Everything is working fine now. Thanks again!
