Hi @webstreamr ,

I think it would be a good idea to encrypt or obfuscate the proxy server credentials in the result links that go through Porxy.

Why?
In my case I share my MediaFlow server with a couple of friends and they don't use AIOStream (which does obfuscate the URLs), so, I don't want to put the Addon on their Stremio accounts because if they copy the download link of the contents already there they can see in plain text the URL and password of my MediaFlow server.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, thx, I think that's a good idea. Basically, encrypting the configuration. I had this on my mind already in the past as well. Most likely it will need a manual "upgrade" via re-install once after the implementation is ready.

Sure, no problem! I'm sure your part will be much more complicated than mine which will just be reinstalling hehe.

notes for myself:

get a SECRET_KEY configured
use it in a similar way as aiostreams does to encrypt/decrypt user config
keep BC by allowing it to be null/undefined and support non-encrypted user configs

--> when configured and user install add-on the config will be encrypted

Sorry, decided against this for now. Don't have time for it and the mfp password would be in streaming links anyway again
