Acknowledgements and inspirations

MediaFlow Proxy was developed with inspiration from various projects and resources:

• Stremio Server for HLS Proxify implementation, which inspired our HLS M3u8 Manifest parsing and redirection proxify support.
• Comet Debrid proxy for the idea of proxifying HTTPS video streams.
• Acexy for the Acestream proxy implementation inspiration, particularly the stream multiplexing and session management concepts.
• Bento4 mp4decrypt, GPAC mp4box, Shaka Packager, and devine for insights on parsing MPD and decrypting CENC/ClearKey DRM protected content across all encryption modes (cenc, cens, cbc1, cbcs).
• Test URLs were sourced from:
• OTTVerse MPEG-DASH MPD Examples
• OTTVerse HLS M3U8 Examples
• Bitmovin Stream Test
• Bitmovin DRM Demo
• DASH-IF Reference Player
• HLS Protocol RFC for understanding the HLS protocol specifications.
• Claude 3.5 Sonnet for code assistance and brainstorming.
