muxy

Emulates a HDHomeRun device while streaming from M3U IPTV streams.

Listens on localhost:8080 by default.

Usage

./muxyProxy http://site.com/my-iptv-playlist.m3u8

Why?

Plex currently does not support IPTV directly, only using network tuners such as a HDHomeRun. tvhProxy is cumbersome because it requires a tvheadend installation, resulting in extra latency. Ideally, Plex would need practically direct access to the IPTV streams and do all the DVR stuff itself.

How does it work?

It reads your M3U8 playlist to show Plex a channel list. The download link in the playlist is a reference to muxy itself, with the download link base64 encoded in the URI. When plex requests a file, muxy downloads the cronological TS files and serves the MPEG stream to Plex.

Building

You just need go and make. To build, do a make.
