Simple Live Stream Plugin

[sherorox]

I'm very new to plex channel development, but have some experience in python.

 

I am trying to figure out how to make a plugin that lets me do the following.

 

1. Pull a live stream(flash) from a link.

 

2. Stream it to Roku.

 

//Note: In order for the link to work, user should be logged in and have an IP from my VPN service (Plex server already has this special IP, does client need it?)

 

I'm not sure where to get started really. There are 10 different links that look like this:

 

http://www.en.beinsports.net/watch-live/1hd

http://www.en.beinsports.net/watch-live/2hd

 

http://www.en.beinsports.net/watch-live/3hd ....etc

 

There are buttons on the page that let you change the channel, they just point to the links. Only one stream can be playing at a time.

 

I can show the "view page source" if anyone would like to see the layout.

 

Please advise me as to where I can get started on this, as any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

I know absolutely nothing about channel development, but my understanding is that at this point in time, Plex is unable to transcode live streams. This means that while you could hypothetically create a channel for this service, you would only be able to use it on devices that support Flash—the Roku not being one.
