- aceztrims: scrape /f11/ (the actual stream page), not /f1/ (the
cross-sport schedule). Drop the dead /iframe1?s= + onclick m3u8
regexes (site moved to `getElementById('iframe').src = '...'` ~20
channels ago). Strip HTML comments first so the ~20 legacy buttons
kept inside <!-- ... --> stop showing up as false positives.
Also pick up the default inline <iframe id='iframe' src='...'>.
Local run: 11 channels (was 0).
- pitsport: decode the RSC payload before regex-matching in
_parse_live_events (raw HTML had it escape-encoded, so the homepage
card path was silently 0). Add the new /live-now route (canonical
what's-live-right-now list). Add "f1" to MOTORSPORT_CATEGORIES — the
site labels Formula 1 events as just "F1". Refresh the stale
serveplay.site docstring (host rotates; pushembdz's api/stream link
is authoritative).
Local run: 7 m3u8 streams covering Canadian GP (EN1/EN2/MULTI/ITA/ESP)
+ NASCAR Coke 600 (was 0).
- ppv: always emit the parent embed alongside substreams (was dropping
it whenever substreams existed). Prefer source_tag in substream titles
so users see "Sky Sport 1 NZ" / "Apple TV (F1TV)" instead of generic
#1/#2 suffixes.
Diagnosed against the live cluster (curated + 7 other extractors
returning 0 cached streams, only 2 dead hmembeds curated 24/7 channels
visible to users). Each fix verified with the extractor run against
live sites this turn.
Cuts the stream list from 23 mostly-broken entries to ~6 confirmed-playable
ones, and adds an iframe-stripping proxy so embed sources (hmembeds, etc.)
load through our origin without X-Frame-Options / CSP / JS frame-buster
blocks.
Why: the previous list was dominated by Discord-shared news article URLs,
hardcoded aggregator landing pages, and other non-stream URLs that all sat
at is_live=true because embed streams skipped the health check entirely.
Users could not tell which links would actually play.
What:
- backend/playback_verifier.py: new headless-Chromium verifier (Playwright)
that polls each candidate stream for a codec-independent "playable" signal
(hls.js MANIFEST_PARSED for m3u8; <video>/player div for embed). Replaces
the unconditional is_live=True for embed streams in service.py.
- backend/embed_proxy.py: new /embed and /embed-asset routes that fetch
upstream embed pages, strip X-Frame-Options/CSP/Set-Cookie, and inject a
<base href> + frame-buster-defeat <script> that locks down window.top,
document.referrer, console.clear/table, and window.location so the
hmembeds disable-devtool.js redirect-to-google trap can't fire.
- extractors/curated.py: new always-on extractor with two known-good 24/7
hmembeds embeds (Sky Sports F1, DAZN F1) so the list isn't empty between
race weekends.
- extractors/__init__.py: register CuratedExtractor first; drop
FallbackExtractor (its 10 aggregator landing-pages can't iframe-play).
- extractors/discord_source.py: positive-match path filter (must look like
/embed/, /stream, /watch, /live, /player, *.m3u8, *.php) plus expanded
domain blocklist for news sites — was 10 noise URLs, now ~1.
- extractors/service.py: run_extraction now health-checks AND verifier-
checks both stream types; only verified-playable streams reach is_live.
- main.py: register /embed + /embed-asset routes; defer initial extraction
by 8s so the verifier can reach the local /embed proxy on 127.0.0.1:8000.
- frontend/lib/api.js + watch/+page.svelte: route embed iframes through
/embed proxy instead of the upstream URL, so X-Frame-Options/CSP can't
block them.
- Dockerfile: install Playwright chromium + system codec-runtime libs.
- main.tf: bump pod memory 256Mi → 1Gi for chromium.
Verified end-to-end with Playwright against
https://f1.viktorbarzin.me/watch — 6/6 streams reach a player UI; the 3
demo m3u8s actually play (codec-bearing browser); the 3 embeds (Sky
Sports F1, DAZN F1, sportsurge) render iframes through the proxy.
