The old player.smotrim.ru/iframe/stream/live_id/N embeds are all dead -
Smotrim's site redesign replaced them with a client-side API
(player-api.smotrim.ru/api/v1/channel/{id}) that returns the current
stream URL. Traced the old numeric id -> new channel id -> stream
mapping from the site's own JS bundle:
- Россия 1 (id 2961 -> channel 1): live.smotrim.ru, no signature, should
be durable
- Россия-Культура (id 19201 -> channel 4): same, unsigned
- Москва 24 (id 1661 -> channel 76): stream.smotrim.ru, carries a `sign`
query param
- Вести ФМ (id 52035 -> channel 199): same, signed
- Соловьёв Live (id 63338 -> channel 292): same, signed
The three signed URLs were stable across repeated fetches in testing
(not IP-bound), but could still rotate server-side - if the checker
flags one of these dead again, re-derive it from
player-api.smotrim.ru/api/v1/channel/{id} rather than assuming the
channel itself is gone.
Not fixed (researched, no working replacement found):
- РТР-Планета: removed from Smotrim entirely - VGTRK now describes it
as satellite-only for the diaspora, no web stream exists
- Катунь 24 / Кубань 24: both stations' own sites just embed the same
dead OK.ru video; OK.ru's underlying stream URL is IP-locked and
expires in ~1 hour, unusable as a static list entry
- Саратов 24: dropped its web player entirely, now Telegram-only
