HLS Proxy

A simple HLS proxy made in C++ from scratch.

How to build

Before building make sure to install the following packages:

sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake

Then simply launch the following command from a terminal:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G "Unix Makefiles" /path/to/repo/HLSProxy && make

And finally launch any server using (for example):

./hls-proxy-ex1 http://bitdash-a.akamaihd.net
./hls-proxy-ex2 bitdash-a.akamaihd.net & vlc http://127.0.0.1:8080/content/sintel/hls/playlist.m3u8 && fg
./hls-proxy-ex3 http://bitdash-a.akamaihd.net:80

The proxy server is listening on the port 8080 (see proxy.h).
