A lightweight IPTV streaming relay server written in C that converts multicast RTP/UDP, RTSP, and HLS sources into unicast HTTP streams. It includes a built-in web player, status dashboard, M3U playlist conversion, and carrier-grade FCC fast channel change support as a drop-in replacement for udpxy and msd_lite.

Use cases

  • convert multicast RTP IPTV streams to HTTP unicast
  • replace udpxy or msd_lite with a faster IPTV proxy
  • proxy internal IPTV HLS streams to LAN or WAN
  • watch IPTV in the browser with a built-in web player
  • enable millisecond-fast channel changes with carrier FCC servers
  • rewind and timeshift IPTV channels via RTSP catchup sources
  • monitor IPTV proxy clients and bandwidth from a web dashboard
  • run an IPTV stream forwarder on a router or NAS

When to choose

  • you receive IPTV via multicast RTP/RTSP and need HTTP unicast for players
  • you want udpxy-compatible URL semantics with better performance and FEC error correction
  • you need fast channel change (FCC) support comparable to a native set-top box
  • you want a zero-dependency, tiny binary for embedded devices like routers and NAS
  • you want a built-in web player, EPG, timeshift, and status dashboard in one server

When to avoid

  • your IPTV source is already unicast HTTP/HLS and needs no proxying
  • you need transcoding or codec conversion rather than stream forwarding
  • you are not on a network with access to the IPTV multicast/RTSP sources
  • you need a GUI-managed media server rather than a lightweight proxy
