HLS and AceProxy

Closed this issue 7 years ago · 4 comments

How do we use aceproxy to HLS. Acestream ".m3u8 & .ts" generation is simple through the http api they have but doesn't allow multiple separate streams to be watched. It stops one if another is loaded.

I believe that can be solved by aceproxy and VLC? Problem is I have a acestream content id (CID) and I can't see how I would generate .m3u8 and .ts as its limited to certain file types when using /pid/. Am I missing something simple?

Is there a simple URL that can be used like:

IP:PORT/pid/CID/stream.m3u8

HLS is not supported by AceProxy.

I see, is there a technical reason why it isnt?

Also do you know of anyway to allow acestreamengine to stream multiple without stopping one for another?

It doesn't make sense.
Acestream from this repository supports multiple clients.

Something to do with http://wiki.acestream.org/wiki/index.php/Engine_HTTP_API#Player_ID

Player ID purpose - app engine should distinguish one player from another, as in the current engine implementation user cannot play the same live-stream with two (or more) players from one engine, and engine will stop to serve requests from one player, when got a new request from another.
