PrismCast is an open-source project allowing users to capture live video from various web-based TV streaming sites, including Hulu, YouTube TV, and Sling TV, and deliver them as HLS or MPEG-TS streams. It integrates with DVR platforms like Channels DVR and Plex through HDHomeRun emulation, using Google Chrome to access and re-stream content. The server supports multiple concurrent streams, offers a web interface for management, and includes reliability features like intelligent playback recovery and predictive pretuning.
PrismCast gives Channels DVR and Plex users a browser-based way to turn web TV streams into DVR-friendly feeds without changing the underlying service login flow. The project spans both direct HLS output and MPEG-TS via HDHomeRun emulation, which matters because it bridges two common live-TV ingestion paths in the streaming stack. The concrete signal to watch is adoption: the repository shows 26 stars, 7 forks, 35 releases, and a latest tag of v1.10.3.
