.m3u8

sorry the .m3u8 drive me insane....
Can someone explain how the %/§%"/"§% work?
1) playlist.m3u8

Code: Select all

#EXTM3U #EXT-X-VERSION:3 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=469829,CODECS="avc1.77.30,mp4a.40.2",RESOLUTION=640x480 example.m3u8

2) "example.m3u8"

Code: Select all

#EXTM3U #EXT-X-VERSION:3 #EXT-X-ALLOW-CACHE:NO #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:13 #EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:623 #EXTINF:8.389, 1a.ts #EXTINF:7.901, 2a.ts

So why i cant play the "1.ts" directly?
Is that some 30sec each -> 1.ts, 2.ts, 3.ts, 4.ts,.... sshhtttt??

That's the idea behind the HLS and HDS protocols: fragmented streaming. So these .TS files are only fragments of the whole stream.
