I try to play the following url via xbmc:

http://lifetv.my-stream.eu/lifetv/lifetv.m3u8

when I add this url to a .strm file and point xbmc to play this file, i get the message that this is unplayable and the following errors in the log:

Code:

The .m3u8 contains the following:

Code:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:10
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:1686
#EXTINF:10,
/lifetv/lifetv-00001686.ts

#EXTINF:10,
/lifetv/lifetv-00001689.ts
#EXTINF:10,
/lifetv/lifetv-00001690.ts

Any idea to make this content playable on xbmc?

I have the same problem, hope someone could help

My guess is you cannot have a playlist link inside a .strm file, they have to be myplaylist.m3u and then the link to the actual direct stream link inside the .strm

It will never work otherwise http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Int....29_method:

Only way is to open the stream through vlc player, as a network stream on the pc
