HLS is a streaming protocol that works by splitting streams into segments, and by serving these segments and a playlist with the HTTP protocol. You can use MediaMTX to connect to one or several existing HLS servers and read their media streams:

yml

paths:
  proxied:
    # Use http:// for plain HTTP and https:// for HTTPS.
    source: http://user:pass@host:port/path
    # If the source is HTTPS and the source TLS certificate is self-signed
    # or invalid, you can provide the fingerprint of the certificate in order to
    # validate it anyway. It can be obtained by running:
    # openssl s_client -connect source_ip:source_port </dev/null 2>/dev/null | sed -n '/BEGIN/,/END/p' > server.crt
    # openssl x509 -in server.crt -noout -fingerprint -sha256 | cut -d "=" -f2 | tr -d ':'
    sourceFingerprint:

If username or password contain special characters (like ?, :, etc), they need to be url-encoded.

The resulting stream will be available on path /proxied.
