I have a stream from the web in the form of an m3u8 file. Since everybody in the office watches the same stream, it is not effective in terms of network traffic. How can I spread the stream among the users but using only 1 stream thread to the URL from the web and all the clients would just watch the local stream?

  • Something like https://github.com/Viblast/hls-proxy presumably? – ceejayoz Jun 21 '18 at 13:44
  • Sort of, but it just hangs there `Getting playlist from https://c201-node62-cdn.connectmedia.hu/10063/c06ca4bffac431906a2acc5333711e95/5b2a5370/index.m3u8` – Bert Jun 21 '18 at 14:05
  • When I access that URL, I just get `err` as the output. They presumably have some sort of authentication or access control in place. – ceejayoz Jun 21 '18 at 14:18

    VLC is capable of ingesting a stream and rebroadcasting. – The Humble Rat Jun 21 '18 at 15:54
  • VLC was the 1st option I've tried, but somehow no matter what I do, it doesn't start streaming. No error or anything, just sits there like nothing happened. :/ – Bert Jun 22 '18 at 07:54
