MediaFlow Proxy
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).
Quick start
docker run -p 8888:8888 -e API_PASSWORD=your_password mhdzumair/mediaflow-proxy
Prefer not to self-host? A managed MediaFlow Proxy instance is available via ElfHosted, bundled with debrid and Stremio addons in their streaming personal-stacks (7-day trial).
Highlights
- DASH (ClearKey) to HLS, HLS manipulation, generic HTTP(S) proxy with custom headers
- Xtream Codes API proxy, Acestream, Telegram (MTProto) streaming
- Optional GPU transcoding (fMP4 H.264/AAC), pre-buffering, segment skip, stream transformers
- Redis-backed rate limiting, encrypted URL generation, reverse-proxy–friendly forwarded headers

High-throughput alternative ⚡
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.
