Stuffstream av ramsoft

Stuffstream sends video from your browser to an Android TV box on your own network.

It exists because most streams cannot simply be handed to a TV: content delivery networks check the Referer, Cookie and User-Agent that the browser sent, and a TV player cannot reproduce them, so playback fails or stalls. Stuffstream captures those headers at the moment the request leaves the browser and passes them to a companion receiver app running on the TV, which replays them when it fetches the stream.

What it does:

• Detects HLS (.m3u8), DASH (.mpd) and direct video files in the current tab
• Sends the stream to your TV with the original request headers
• Pins playback to the highest available rendition so adaptive bitrate cannot quietly drop the quality
• Matches the TV's refresh rate to the content frame rate, so 24fps film does not judder
• Never transcodes: the publisher's bytes are decoded on the TV as-is
• Shows what is currently playing, with a stop control

Requires the companion Stuffstream receiver app on an Android TV device. Everything stays on your local network; nothing is sent to any third-party service.

DRM-protected services such as Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video are out of scope and will not work.
