f1-stream

Quickly open a Sky Sports F1 live video stream in VLC on MacOS.

Install Instructions:

1. Download & Install VLC
2. Install Streamlink - brew install streamlink
3. Download the F1 stream script - curl -o ~/f1.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andyburton/f1-stream/main/f1.sh && chmod +x ~/f1.sh
4. Open stream in browser window to authorise your IP - you shouldn't need to click/do anything!
5. Run the F1 stream script - ~/f1.sh
6. If VLC opens with the live Sky Sports stream, happy days, you can close the browser window.

If this doesn't work and you get an error:

1. Click through the ads to get the stream running in the browser - best to have an adblocker!
2. Keep the page open once running - may be best to mute the stream in the browser.
3. Run ~/f1.sh again.
4. If VLC opens with the live Sky Sports stream, happy days, you can close the browser window.

If that still doesn't work:

1. Open chrome dev tools in the stream window with it still playing (cmd+option+i).
2. Open network tab.
3. Find chunklist.m3u8 which should keep popping up - click "Fetch/XHR" to narrow down if you can't see it.
4. Right click on any of the chunklist.m3u8 rows, copy->URL.
5. Run ~/f1.sh and paste the copied URL as the script argument e.g. ~/f1.sh https://serid-c1.ofemm.com/plyvivo/yo4i5i8a6anopujabemo/chunklist.m3u8

If this still doesn't work, unfortunately this script isn't going to work for you without changes, so keep the browser window open and playing =/

Just run rm ~/f1.sh to cleanup and leave Streamlink and VLC installed.
