Support for /play-Format urls

[tefinger]

First of all thank you very much for your work on this project. It's great and I'm using it for a long time now without any issues.

Till now ... :-) My IPTV provider changed the url format from /<user>/<pass>/<id> to /play/<some-kind-of-token>/ts.
This causes that I'm no longer able to use iptv-proxy for the streams.
iptv-proxy just gives an 404 error when trying to stream.

Is it possible to add support for that kind of urls?

Thanks for your issue!
Yes could be possible. Is your provider using xtream API?

[tefinger]

Yes I think so. I have no concrete statement from the provider but the urls etc. look like he does.

This is how I run iptv-proxy:
iptv-proxy --m3u-url "http://<url>:8080/get.php?username=<username>&password=<password>&output=mpegts&type=m3u_plus" --hostname 10.0.0.36 --xtream-user <username> --xtream-password <password> --xtream-base-url http://<url>:8080 --user <localuser> --password <localpw>

Edit: Git a response from my provider that xtream api is supported. I changed the iptv-proxy arguments like that:
iptv-proxy --hostname 10.0.0.36 --xtream-user <username> --xtream-password <password> --xtream-base-url http://<url>:8080 --user <localuser> --password <localpw>
But the download m3u file still contains urls like http://<proxy-url>:8080/play/<token>/ts which can't be played because iptv-proxy returns a 404 error.

@pierre-emmanuelJ Any ideas when you will be able to implement such url support? Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello @tefinger,

Yes it could be quick when I have time, stay aware of next changes ;)

Is it possible to play these urls or is there a workaround available? Thanks!

[mrparsons]

My provider has also changed to this "/play/token" method, and no, it doesnt seem iptv-proxy supports that yet.

I made a workaround which can be found here:

It's a bit hacky, so I decided to not submit it as a PR
