The redirect proxy from 6ba65f1 still played the one-minute "watch on
eporner.com" clip away from home: checked from foreign networks
(check-host.net nodes in BR/DE/HU), a freshly signed link answers 302 ->
static.eporner.com/na.mp4, while the IP that resolved it gets the file. A
redirect therefore only works for a player behind the server's public IP.
/proxy/eporner/{alnum_id}/{height}.mp4 now streams the mp4: resolves the
link (cached 90 min, re-resolved when the CDN answers with a redirect),
forwards Range, and returns a sized body so 206 responses keep
Content-Length. It is no longer a redirect proxy, so app clients keep the
URLs in formats. Verified locally: HEAD, 0-1, mid-file and open-ended ranges
return 206 with Content-Length/Content-Range and valid MP4 data.

Hottub Docs
This folder is the fastest handoff path for anyone adding or repairing a channel.
Start here:
- Read
architecture.mdfor the server flow, request lifecycle, and core types. - Read
provider-playbook.md— its top "Best Practices (Living)" section is the cross-cutting rule set to internalize first, then follow the rest of the playbook for the exact process to add a new provider or proxy. - Use
provider-catalog.mdto find the closest existing implementation to copy. - Use
docs/hottubapp/*.htmlwhen you need the client-facing API contract for status, videos, or uploaders. - Only then touch
prompts/new-channel.md; it assumes the docs above exist.
Recommended local workflow:
cargo check -q
HOT_TUB_PROVIDER=<channel_id> cargo check -q
HOT_TUB_PROVIDER=<channel_id> cargo run --features debug
Useful runtime baseline:

Key facts:
- Hottub is a Rust
ntexserver with providers undersrc/providers/. build.rscontrols compile-time provider registration./api/videosis the main provider execution path./proxy/...exists for sites whose direct media or thumbnails need a redirect/proxy layer.- Only three providers currently implement
/api/uploaders:hsex,omgxxx, andvjav. - Uploader IDs should be namespaced like
<channel>:<site-local-id>so/api/uploaderscan route directly.
