Hls Restream Proxy
Lightweight HLS restream proxy for Jellyfin/Emby/Plex — injects headers, rewrites playlists, auto-refreshes tokens. The repo is showing breakout traction with 159 GitHub stars, 7 forks, and 79.5 stars/day over 2 days. That combination of recency and adoption makes it a strong candidate for a breakout app or managed SaaS layer.

Target customer
Early-adopter teams already pulling this workflow into production and willing to pay for a hosted, team-ready version
Problem-solution fit
The repo already shows strong pull around emby, hls, homelab. Packaging that pull into a hosted product reduces setup time, operational risk, and the gap between experimentation and team adoption.
