Unable to retrieve the client IP ADRESS

[phantazma]

Hello guys,
Im trying to create a new addon that works with m3U8 streams, those streams use the user IP adress ( not the ip adress of the stremio plateform or the server where the addon is hosted)

how can i retrieve this information ?

how will you even ensure that the user has the port open to the internet for such a transaction?

presuming that you know what you're doing, you could use express with nodejs to create the addon instead of using the addon sdk, then just: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10849687/express-js-how-to-get-remote-client-address

i tried to do that but i still get the ip address of the stremio plateform not the public ip of the client

can you share the code you tried?

Express will allow you to do this.

app.use((req, res, next) => { const ip = req.ip || req.connection.remoteAddress; console.log("User's IP address:", ip); next(); });
