✅ XCIPTV DIRECT_SOURCE FIX - COMPLETE
===============================================================================

Date: December 2, 2025
Issue: XCIPTV was accessing external URLs directly without Flussonic tokens
Result: 403 Unauthorized errors on channels

===============================================================================
🔧 ROOT CAUSE IDENTIFIED:
===============================================================================

The external panel API (flix-panel.xyz:2087) returns TWO URL fields for streams:

1. stream_url: The standard stream URL
2. direct_source: Alternative direct URL (used by many IPTV players like XCIPTV)

Previous code only converted stream_url but NOT direct_source, causing XCIPTV
to access external sources directly:
  ❌ https://thevirtualservice.com:2053/ABC-NEWS/mpegts (403 Unauthorized)

Additionally, the external API returns data in TWO different formats:

Format 1 - Authentication response (wrapped):
{
  "user_info": {...},
  "server_info": {...}
}

Format 2 - Stream list response (plain array):
[
  {"stream_id": 709, "name": "...", "stream_url": "...", "direct_source": "..."},
  {"stream_id": 710, "name": "...", "stream_url": "...", "direct_source": "..."}
]

The convertToLocalUrls() function only handled Format 1 (wrapped), so when
get_live_streams returned Format 2 (plain array), the URLs were NOT converted!

===============================================================================
✅ SOLUTION IMPLEMENTED:
===============================================================================

Modified: /var/www/html/player_api.php
Modified: /var/www/html/xciptv.php

Updated convertToLocalUrls() function to:

1. ✅ Detect and handle BOTH data formats:
   - Plain arrays (get_live_streams, get_vod_streams responses)
   - Wrapped objects (authentication responses)

2. ✅ Convert BOTH URL fields:
   - stream_url → http://chatti.tmaxhosting.com/live/user/pass/id.ts
   - direct_source → http://chatti.tmaxhosting.com/live/user/pass/id.ts

3. ✅ Support different stream types:
   - Live streams: /live/user/pass/id.ts
   - VOD movies: /movie/user/pass/id.mp4

===============================================================================
🎯 TEST RESULTS:
===============================================================================

✅ Authentication: PASS
   Auth: 1 | Status: Active

✅ Live Streams: PASS
   ID: 709 | Name: AFRICA-CHANNEL
   URL: http://chatti.tmaxhosting.com/live/1231231/1231231/709.ts
   Direct: http://chatti.tmaxhosting.com/live/1231231/1231231/709.ts

✅ VOD Streams: PASS
   ID: 170106 | Name: Maclunkey Treasure Island (2025)
   URL: http://chatti.tmaxhosting.com/movie/1231231/1231231/170106.mp4

✅ URL Conversion: PASS
   External URLs found: 0
   Local URLs found: 11,117

===============================================================================
🔄 HOW IT WORKS NOW:
===============================================================================

1. User opens XCIPTV with:
   Portal: https://chatti.tmaxhosting.com/player_api.php
   User: 1231231
   Pass: 1231231

2. XCIPTV requests channel list:
   → GET /player_api.php?action=get_live_streams&username=1231231&password=1231231

3. player_api.php forwards to external panel:
   → GET flix-panel.xyz:2087/player_api.php?action=get_live_streams&...

4. External panel returns streams with external URLs:
   {
     "stream_id": 709,
     "name": "AFRICA-CHANNEL",
     "stream_url": "https://flix-panel.xyz:2087/live/1231231/1231231/709.ts",
     "direct_source": "https://thevirtualservice.com:2053/AFRICA-CHANNEL/mpegts"
   }

5. ✅ convertToLocalUrls() converts BOTH fields:
   {
     "stream_id": 709,
     "name": "AFRICA-CHANNEL",
     "stream_url": "http://chatti.tmaxhosting.com/live/1231231/1231231/709.ts",
     "direct_source": "http://chatti.tmaxhosting.com/live/1231231/1231231/709.ts"
   }

6. XCIPTV receives local URLs and plays channel:
   → GET http://chatti.tmaxhosting.com/live/1231231/1231231/709.ts

7. .htaccess redirects to live.php:
   → /live.php/1231231/1231231/709.ts

8. live.php proxies through external panel:
   → GET https://flix-panel.xyz:2087/live/1231231/1231231/709.ts

9. External panel redirects to real source WITH TOKEN:
   → https://thevirtualservice.com:2053/AFRICA-CHANNEL/mpegts?token=c2f43223...

10. ✅ Channel plays successfully!
