jalle19/node-ffmpeg-mpegts-proxy repository overview

Simple proxy for leveraging ffmpeg to convert any source URL into MPEG-TS and serve it on demand over HTTP. It has been designed for proxying HLS streams for use as IPTV input in tvheadend, but it can be used with any source that can be handled by the avconv utility. Currently it simply remuxes the source stream into MPEG-TS and adds a service name (for automatic detection in tvheadend), no transcoding is performed.

Since HLS input can be a bit unreliable, the converter process will be restarted automatically (without the HTTP response ending) until the client closes the connection (in which case the process is killed).
