VlcKit ver 3 doesn't play m3u8 streams

I am trying to play some m3u8 streams but the vlckit ver 3 doesn't play any of them.

I explain:

In my app, if I use the vlckit version 2.2.2, it plays the m3u8 streams, if live. It they are m3u8 streams of recorded stuff (cameras), it will lack memory untill the ios shuts the app down.

Then I downloaded the version 3, wich I got from nighties (http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/iOS/)
None of those I have tested can play m3u8 streams at all.
I am using, for testing, the example app wich cames with the vlckit (SimplePlayback).

I tested with the original link in the app and with my links and links from https://bitmovin.com/mpeg-dash-hls-exam ... e-streams/
All m3u8 tested doesn't play.

example:
_mediaplayer.media = [VLCMedia mediaWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"https://mnmedias.api.telequebec.tv/m3u8/29880.m3u8"]]; // Does not play

_mediaplayer.media = [VLCMedia mediaWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://streams.videolan.org/streams/mp4 ... 64_aac.mp4"]]; // Plays fine

Tried every m3u8 streams in the application vlc for linux, for mac and for windows and they all plays fine.

Any clues if there is any solution to this? (Just in time, the version 2.7 has some trouble playing m3u8 streams as well).
