Tutorial Reencode YouTube Live to HLS using Streamlink, Debian 10 and FFMPEG - DEFUNCT

[kimbrasil]

The first part is the same from my last tutorial on how to create your IPTV channel using VLC, Debian and FFMPEG, but in that you don't mind on how easy it is!

In the server side I'm using Debian GNU/Linux 10 as example, but you can adapt to use in any other OS. I'm presuming who will use this tutorial already know at least the basics of Debian (or Ubuntu) and VLC. Check if your server machine have full access to the internet and HTTP port (80) open.

Firts, install Apache 2 HTTP server, FFMPEG and Streamlink in your Debian server side

To view the content, you need to Sign In or Register.

Now start the apache 2 server, go to your server http root, create a subfolder that we'll use for restream the YouTube live channel you want, and make permissions.

# service apache2 start
# cd /var/www/html
# mkdir retube
# chmod 775 retube -R
# exit

[/THANKS]
Now execute the follow command to restream, using the desired Youtube channel "URL" + "/live"

That's it! Following this procedures you'll be able to have your URL "http:/ / your.server.domain.or.ip/retube/stream.m3u8" ready to play in any HLS compatible player.

See if the channel name is valid and if the channel have an assigned private name, check the URL in the browser first and look if it is name or alpha-numeric

https://www.youtube.com/user/CHANELNAME/live , https://www.youtube.com/channel/CHANNELNAME/live , https://www.youtube.com/user/NoNOoOnooOonoNo/live or https://www.youtube.com/channelNoNOoOnooOonoNo/live

No, I'm no catholic, it was the first live channel I'd found

This does not work - another confirmed flop I'm affraid

[cli][info] streamlink is running as root! Be careful!
[cli][info] Found matching plugin youtube for URL https://www.youtube.com/user/SkyNews/live
error: No playable streams found on this URL: https://www.youtube.com/user/SkyNews/live

There is only one way to pull youtube live right now and those that write their own keep it private so it does not get hammered.

Before anyones asks, no I will NOT share my script.

Just so you know its not BS
