F1 Web Viewer

Original Project

bootsie123's F1 Web Viewer

Tutorial

There are 3 currently-working methods of using this project.

1. Public Website

   • No need to setup
   • Bandwidth might be limited
   • US Content Schedule (Wouldn't get after-midnight replays if you have a San Marino F1TV Access Plan)

   Website is accessible at https://f1tv.ieb.systems/, hosted on Deta.sh

   Note the 1080p50 is disabled for HLS streams as segements might exceed the 5.5M limit.

2. Reverse Proxy

   • Download a single executable
   • Use your own connection for content

   Download the client for your OS at https://github.com/iebb/F1WebViewer-SelfHosted

   Run it locally and it would open a browser, or on a server and open http://[server-ip]:13331/ to watch.

   Note the availability of F1TV Access / Pro depends on your server location.

3. Running Locally

   • Customize everything
   • Requires some technical knowledge

   Check the Installation part on the bottom.

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/bootsie123/F1-Web-Viewer.git

# Enter the directory

Usage

Local

To run the web server simply run:

npm start

This will run the server locally on port 3000 and allow you to connect to it through:

http://localhost:3000 or the IP address of your computer http://192.168.x.x:3000

Docker

To start the web server with Docker simply run:

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 bootsie123/f1-web-viewer

From there, you can then access the server on port 3000 of your Docker host. For example: http://192.168.x.x:3000

Configuration

Changing the default port

To change the default port of the web server locally you can simply rename the .env.example file in the main directory of the application to .env. From there, edit the following:

SERVER_PORT=3000 //Change this value here to the desired port

For Docker, simply start the container with your desired mapped ports. For example, to access the web server from port 8080 use:

docker run -d -p 8080:3000 bootsie123/f1-web-viewer

FAQ

What credentials do I use to login?

For login, you need an F1TV account and an active subscription. To login, simply open the sliding panel on the right and enter the same username and password you use for F1TV

What happens to my credentials after login?

During login, your credentials are exchanged with the F1TV servers which in turn give back an access token. This token is stored locally through your browser and is automatically loaded after the first login. However, if this token expires simply logout and relogin

Will my layout be saved?

The layout is automatically saved locally to your browser. It will also be loaded automatically when you revisit the application. However, if you clear your browser cache you will loose your layout

Is it possible to sync the feeds?

Yes! Just click on the clock icon on the feed you want all the other feeds to sync up to. It will also sync across multiple tabs too
