Added hlsdl support in main-hlsdl.js.

hlsdl can record HLS streams under Linux without significant drop of segments (in comparison with ffmpeg).

mfc-node lets you follow and record your favorite models' shows on myfreecams.com

This is an attempt to create a script similar to capturbate-node based on different pieces of code found on the Internet.

• capturbate-node
• MFCAuto

Node.js used to run mfc-node, hence the name (minimum node version requirement: v9.4).

ffmpeg

1. Install Node.js (minimum node version requirement: v9.4).
2. Download and unpack the code.
3. Open Terminal (macOS) or Command Prompt (Windows) and go into the directory where you unpacked the files.
4. Install requirements by running npm install in the same directory as main.js is (Windows users have to install Git).
5. Edit config.yml file and set desirable values for captureDirectory, completeDirectory, modelScanInterval.
6. Install ffmpeg. For Windows users, copy ffmpeg.exe into same directory as main.js is.

1. Open Terminal (macOS) or Command Prompt (Windows) and go into the directory where you unpacked the files.

2. Run node main.js.

3. Open http://localhost:9080 in you browser. The list of online models will be displayed with a set of allowed commands for each model:

   • Include - if you want to record the model
   • Exclude - if you don't want to record the model anymore
   • Delete - if you are not interested in the model and want to hide her permanently

Note: This is not a real-time application. Whenever your include, exclude or delete the model your changes will be applied only with the next iteration of mainLoop function of the script. mainLoop runs every 30 seconds (default value for modelScanInterval).

Note: There is no auto reload feature, you have to reload the list manually (big red button), however, keep in mind the script updates the list internally every 30 seconds (modelScanInterval), therefore sometimes you'll have to wait 30 seconds to see any updates.

Note: Be mindful when capturing many streams at once to have plenty of space on disk and the bandwidth available or you’ll end up dropping a lot of frames and the files will be useless.

To record RTMP streams you will require to have a "patched" version of rtmpdump.

On March 23, MFC deployed a number of changes to support OBS Studio and higher resolution (720p or 1080p) streams. These new streams was possible to record by using regular rtmpdump, but not its patched version.

Note: For now there is no way to record new streams using rtmpdump (MFC broke something). You can record only "old" streams if you have "patched" rtmpdump.

Surprisingly, a small utility hlsdl for Linux can record HLS streams without significant drop of frames. Linux user should consider using hlsdl instead of ffmpeg.

There is a simple script to convert .ts files. Just edit convert.yml file and set proper values for srcDirectory (should be the same with completeDirectory) and dstDirectory, then run node convert.js in a separate console window.

There are several special URLs that allow implementing some operations with a model even if she is offline.

Include

http://localhost:9080/models/include?nm=modelname
http://localhost:9080/models/include?uid=12345678

Exclude

http://localhost:9080/models/exclude?nm=modelname
http://localhost:9080/models/exclude?uid=12345678

Delete

http://localhost:9080/models/delete?nm=modelname
http://localhost:9080/models/delete?uid=12345678

This is just a Proof of Concept to avoid region block. To use it you have to start proxy.js on some remote server located in a different region then add a parameter proxyServer to your local config.yml, for example, proxyServer: '54.206.109.161:9090'.

The main.js script will try to get models from the remote region then merge them with the list of models available in your region.

Note: This is not a real-time application, expect inconsistency.

Note: There might be an issue with new HD streams.
