DEC '25 UPDATE: Two versions available now. V2 (recommended) is more flexible with key selection.

This project provides a standalone proxy server for streaming from the Stripchat platform. The proxy allows users to fetch streams by specifying a username from the command line or dynamically via HTTP requests. It automatically selects an available port if none is specified and logs the URL to be used for streaming. It also handles the decoding of the newly added scrambling of playlist file urls by Stripchat.

• scp-standalone-v2.py (RECOMMENDED): The new v2-only implementation with robust PSCH line selection. Uses keys.txt with format pkey:pdkey to automatically match the correct v2 encryption line from master playlists, no matter which position the key has in the playlist. This version is more flexible as Stripchat may possibly rotate between multiple v2 keys, and the proxy automatically selects the matching one.

• scp-standalone.py (LEGACY): The original implementation. This version will be replaced by v2 in the future. Uses key.txt for single key storage and is set to use last available pkey.

• scp-standalone-v2.py: The recommended v2 proxy implementation. Handles v2 playlist decryption with key matching. Uses keys.txt for key storage in pkey:pdkey format.

• scp-standalone.py: The legacy proxy implementation. Uses key.txt for single key storage.

• keys.txt: Required for v2 version. Stores keys in format pkey:pdkey (e.g., Zeec...:ubah...). The pkey determines which v2 PSCH line to use, pdkey decrypts the segments.

• key.txt: Used by legacy version only. Stores single decryption key.

1. Create keys.txt: Create a keys.txt file in the same directory as the script with format pkey:pdkey (e.g., Zeec...:ubah...).

2. Install Dependencies: Ensure you have Python installed along with the requests library.

3. Run the Proxy:

   • With a Default Username: Start the proxy with a username to set a default stream:

     python scp-standalone-v2.py <username> [--port <port>] [--host <host>]

   • Without a Default Username: Start the proxy without a username to enable dynamic requests:

     python scp-standalone-v2.py [--port <port>] [--host <host>]

   • Serve best quality only: Add the --best flag:

     python scp-standalone-v2.py <username> --best

4. Access the Stream:

   • Once the proxy is running, it will log the URL(s) for access.
   • For default streams (if username provided at startup): Use http://<host>:<port>/ or the logged proxy URL.
   • For dynamic streams: Use http://<host>:<port>/<username> to fetch and stream for that username.
   • The proxy supports multiple concurrent connections.
   • Use in your app of choice that can handle HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) to access the stream.

5. Compatibility:

   • Some apps may need the .m3u8 file extension in the requested URL to function correctly. You can append .m3u8 to the end of the stream URL after the username if needed.

6. Verbosity:

   • By default, the proxy runs in a non-verbose mode, suppressing standard HTTP request logs, only showing essential information.
   • To enable verbose logging, start the proxy with the --verbose flag.

Use the same commands as above but replace scp-standalone-v2.py with scp-standalone.py. The legacy version uses key.txt instead of keys.txt.

The proxy accepts the following command-line arguments:

• <username> (positional, optional): The username of the streamer to set as the default stream at startup. If provided, the proxy fetches the stream URL immediately and serves it for requests to the root path (/). If omitted, the proxy operates in dynamic mode, waiting for username-specific requests.

• --port <port> (optional, integer, default: 0): Specifies the port number for the proxy server to listen on. If set to 0 or omitted, the proxy automatically selects an available port.

• --host <host> (optional, string, default: '127.0.0.1'): Specifies the host address for the proxy server to bind to. Defaults to localhost (127.0.0.1) for local access.

• --proxy <proxy_url> (optional, string): Specifies a proxy URL to use for all HTTP/HTTPS requests (e.g., socks4://ip:port or http://ip:port). This is optional and allows routing traffic through a proxy server. Requires the PySocks library for SOCKS proxies.

• --best (optional, flag): Forces the proxy to use the best quality playlist instead of the variants playlist. This serves a single high-quality stream directly, bypassing quality selection options. This may improve quality for some players (no switching).

• --verbose (optional, flag): Enables verbose logging, which includes debug messages from the proxy handler in addition to standard info logs. Useful for troubleshooting.

• -h or --help: Displays help information about all available arguments.

• Automatically selects an available port if none is specified.
• Logs the streaming URL(s) for easy access.
• Handles decoding of scrambled playlist file urls by Stripchat.
• Supports both default and dynamic (via http://<host>:<port>/<username>) username requests.
• Allows setting a default stream at startup for convenience.
• Supports multiple concurrent connections for simultaneous users.
• Mimics browser-like behavior with appropriate headers.
• Optionally uses a proxy server for all requests.
