Usage

./fifacli

Menu

1. Select a channel:
   • Português (CazeTV) — YouTube live
   • Français (BFM) — French stream
   • Deutsch (ZDF) — German stream
   • Español (RTVE) — Spanish stream
   • Stream (scrape) — Auto-discover from trickscorner (see below)
2. The match plays in mpv
3. Press Enter to return to the menu

Auto-scrape mode

Select Stream (scrape) and it will:

1. Detect the current live match from the built-in schedule
2. Visit trickscorner.xyz with a headless Chromium
3. Scrape all match links from the page
4. Match the live match name against the links (fuzzy)
5. Follow the player redirect chain
6. Extract the raw .m3u8 CDN URL
7. Play it in mpv

If no match is live, it prompts for a match name manually.

Proxy / VPN

Set a proxy in ~/.config/wc-cli/config:

HTTP_PROXY=socks5://127.0.0.1:1080

Change the streaming site

Edit ~/.config/wc-cli/config:

SCRAPE_BASE_URL=https://www.trickscorner.xyz

                        → cloudfront.net/...chunklist.m3u8

The scraper uses Playwright (headless Chromium) to:

1. Discover — visit the base URL, find all match links
2. Match — fuzzy-match the schedule entry to the correct link
3. Extract — intercept network requests for .m3u8 / .mpd files
4. Follow — if a player wrapper page is found, navigate into it
5. Play — return the direct CDN .m3u8 URL to mpv
