Status of playback of m3u8 playlist? (1 Viewer)

[corporate_gadfly]

I know there was an earlier thread, however is there a possibility of further exploring M3U8 playlists. Looks like this M3U8 playlist has a bunch of segments in it (similar to the F4M segments). @georgius ?

I would be great if online videos got m3u8 playlist support, lots of sites have really difficult to work out rtpm streams or DRM'ed content but their mobile site/app often uses m3u8 without DRM, also mobile sites sometimes come with a handy json api..

Of course one could use VLC player, but internal is so much better!

LAV Splitter can handle m3u8 streams natively (I use it for the AirPlay plugin). Maybe this could be added to the URLSourceSplitter or allow OV to fall back to LAV Splitter?

is this still worth bringing up? Totally agree...possible today? I get a new error with latest merged filter stating tag version not support,so I guess Georgius is working on it.

m3u8 media playlists (not master playlists) protocol version 1 and 3 are supported by MediaPortal Url Source Splitter & IPTV Filter. To see what version your play list is check the tag #EXT-X-VERSION. I don't know if @georgius working on support for other versions.
