MediaFlow Proxy is a streaming proxy for HTTP(S), HLS (M3U8), and MPEG-DASH—including ClearKey DRM and real-time DASH-to-HLS conversion. It also supports IPTV (Xtream Codes), Acestream, Telegram media, transcoding, and advanced routing.
Full documentation: mhdzumair.github.io/mediaflow-proxy (built from the docs/ folder with MkDocs Material).

For lower memory usage and higher throughput — especially on constrained hardware (small VPS, NAS, Raspberry Pi) — see MediaFlow Proxy Light, a Rust reimplementation that is fully API-compatible with this proxy. Benchmarks show 7–8× less memory, 1.7–3.4× less CPU per request, and up to 4× higher throughput. Existing tokens, encrypted URLs, and client integrations work without changes.
