CloudStream Tricks is a personal solution which lets you open CloudStream streams on your PC's local media player.
It has been tested only on Linux so far, but I don't see any reason why it couldn't be adapted for other platforms, but I don't plan to provide support for other platforms just yet.
This project maintains an Android APK and a web server that is powered by Odin.

As of now you'll have to build the APK and the web server yourself.
To clone the repository properly, do:
git clone --recursive --depth 1 https://github.com/eeriemyxi/cloudstream-tricks
Note
Omit --depth 1 if you aim to contribute to the project.
To build the web server, install Odin and head over to ct-daemon directory. Then execute:
odin build .
Now you should have a ct-daemon executable in the folder.
To build the Android app, please follow some instructions on doing it on Android Studio on the internet.
The usage guide is simple. You run the ct-daemon web server on your PC. It'll
tell you the address it is running the web server at. At some point I'm going to
make it customizable, but for now it is accepting any IP4 address with the port
8000.
Warning
The web server assumes you'll be using mpv.
This should be customizable at some point at a higher level,
but for now you'd have to edit the source code to change it.
Open the "CloudStream Tricks" Android app, then save the address you saw there.
There is a load I can tell you here, but to keep it simple, in the hostname
field of the app, you would ideally enter the IPV6 address of your PC from ip a command. You would also want to connect to the same WIFI that your PC is
connected to in this case.
Now open CloudStream, pick a stream, tap and hold it, press "Play in m3u8 player", then select CloudStream Tricks. You should see a toast message quickly.
Tip
You can make m3u8 the default in the settings of CloudStream (under Player settings).
