M3uFu

The Most Advanced M3U8 Parser Available.

• All HLS Tags are Supported.
• Private / Custom Tags are Supported.
• Master Playlists are Supported.
• HTTP(S), Multicast,UDP, and File Source URIs are Supported.
• Full 2022 SCTE-35 Support.
• Base64, Bytes, and Hex formated SCTE-35 Cues are Supported.
• Automatic Decryption of AES Encrypted Segments.
• Desegmentation. Playlist Segments can be Reassembled into a Single Mpegts File.

Requires:

• python3.6+ or pypy3

Install:

python3 -mpip install  m3ufu

         # and/or 

pypy3 -mpip install m3ufu

Usage:

usage: m3ufu.py [-h] [-i INPUT] [-o OUTFILE] [-v]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -i INPUT, --input INPUT
                        Input source, like "/home/a/vid.ts" or "udp://@235.35.3.5:3535" or
                        "https://futzu.com/xaa.ts"
  -o OUTFILE, --outfile OUTFILE
                        download and reassemble segments. Write to outfile. SCTE35 cues are
                        written to sidecar.txt
  -v, --version         Show version

Automatic AES Decryption

• When m3ufu detects AES-128, it automatically decrypts the segment
  • This is used:
    • to read PTS from the segment
    • desegmenting a playlist and combining them into a single mpegts file

Output:

• Returns JSON
