How to make VLC Player play local files as a stream?

[rrrrrrrr]

I have a video file split into several parts:
part1.ts
part2.ts
part3.ts
I made a playlist "Playlist 1.m3u8":

Code: Select all

#EXTM3U part1.ts part2.ts part3.ts

When I open the playlist with the VLC Player, it plays the parts, but not as a stream, but as separate video files, that is the player stops after each file, then loads the next one.
If I make a playlist like this:

Code: Select all

#EXTM3U #EXT-X-VERSION:4 #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:3 #EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:1 #EXTINF:2.0 part1.ts #EXTINF:2.0 part2.ts #EXTINF:2.0 part3.ts

The player freezes in an infinite error loop, the log file has like tens of lines of the same error message:
adaptive error: Failed to create demuxer 00000000 TS
The player plays the same files as a stream when they are streamed over network.
I am using VLC media player v. 3.0.4.
What is wrong here and how to fix it?
