🚀 MediaFlow 2.4.9 Released
This release introduces a powerful forward proxy for debrid services, a complete overhaul of the Maxstream bypass pipeline, and critical fixes for HLS streaming stability.
✨ New Features & Enhancements
- 🌐 New Forward Proxy Endpoints: Added
/proxy/forwardand/proxy/ip. This allows debrid API calls to originate from MediaFlow's IP, solving "IP binding" issues. Includes SSRF protection, header stripping, and{mediaflow_ip}placeholder substitution. - 🔓 Advanced Maxstream (uprot.net) Bypass: A total rewrite of the Maxstream extractor to support Italian aggregators (CB01, EuroStreaming). It now features a multi-engine OCR ensemble (ddddocr, Tesseract, and opt-in Cloudflare Workers AI) to solve captchas with up to 90% accuracy.
- 📺 New Extractor: Added support for StreamHG (@UrloMythus).
- 🤖 OCR Ensemble: New optional
[maxstream]extra for better captcha solving, including a lazy-loaded persistent URL cache to skip captchas entirely on known links.
🛠️ Bug Fixes
- 🎞️ HLS Multi-Period Trimming: Fixed a critical issue where multi-period MPDs caused stalls and sequence gaps in HLS players. Segments are now correctly merged and trimmed across period boundaries.
- ⚡ Transcode HEAD Request Fix: Resolved 404 errors when upstreams (like AIOStreams) return
405 Method Not Allowedon HEAD requests. The system now correctly falls back to a Range GET to determine file size. - 🔐 Filemoon Decryption: Replaced the broken JS evaluation with a robust API-based AES-256-GCM decryption method (@newman2x).
- 🔄 Doodstream Improvements: Added detection for JS-based redirects and optimized Cloudflare R2 storage shortcuts to bypass unnecessary token suffixing.
- 📡 HLS Transport Routes: Fixed
handle_hls_stream_proxyto properly honorTRANSPORT_ROUTESconfigurations (@spawntty). - 🔍 F16Px & Embeds: Updated F16Px extractor and improved embed ID extraction and request headers (@GLlgGL).
📖 Documentation Updates
- ☁️ Managed Deployment: Added ElfHosted as a standardized managed deployment option in the README (@funkypenguin).
- 📚 Forward Proxy Guide: Added comprehensive documentation for
/proxy/forwardusage, configuration, and environment variables (PUBLIC_IP,FORWARD_ALLOWED_HOSTS, etc.).
