Watch YouTube Live Streams via a Cloudflare Worker

Advantages

  • AD free
  • Fast
  • Scalable
  • Secure
  • Serverless

Use-cases

  • Can play on any media player, like VLC, which supports .m3u8
  • Make a .m3u playlist and use it on your Smart TV/Kodi/Android device

How to use

  • Go to https://workers.cloudflare.com/ and create a Cloudflare worker
  • Copy the contents of the worker.js file into the the newly-created worker script file
  • Save and deploy

Your worker route would be something like yourapp.example.workers.dev

To play a live stream you've to pass the YouTube channel id or the video id to the worker For hls streams use master.m3u8 in the url path For dash streams use master.m3u8 in the url path For ex: YouTube url : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP0uG-mcMImgKnJz-VjJZmQ/live New worker url: https://yourapp.example.workers.dev/stream/UCP0uG-mcMImgKnJz-VjJZmQ/master.m3u8

Tip: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP0uG-mcMImgKnJz-VjJZmQ/live and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjH6v95z3Nw are both acceptable urls, but the former is preferable as it is a permanent url.

Working demo

https://utube.arapurayil.com/stream/UCP0uG-mcMImgKnJz-VjJZmQ/master.m3u8

Play the above url in VLC media player or any player supporting hls or dash streams
