Help with m3u8 Playlists
#1
Hi,

i'd like to know if there is any possibility to stream m3u8 playlists (m3u with UTF8 encoding) with the ATV2 and XBMC.

Referring to this thread, there is a site which provides german free TV channels with such kind of playlists. With iPod Touch, iPad or iPhone they can be streamed perfectely. On the PC they cannot be played at all.

I tried it from iPod Touch via Airplay but only Audio will will be transferred to my ATV2 and not video. Here is a sample of a playlist:

Code:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-ALLOW-CACHE:NO
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:10
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:193
#EXT-X-KEY:METHOD=AES-128,URI="http://m3u8.wilmaa.com/php/myStream.php"
#EXTINF:11,
20110521090004_media_193.ts
#EXTINF:10,
20110521090004_media_194.ts
#EXTINF:10,
20110521090004_media_195.ts
#EXTINF:10,
20110521090004_media_196.ts
#EXTINF:10,
20110521090004_media_197.ts

As i understand, the provider generates the playlists dynamically so the entries are constantly changing.

Any idea ?
