How to play m3u playlists

Post by aadnieuw »

Hi,

I'm new to UMS after using several other media servers (like Plex, TVersity, PMS3 etc).
Owning a Xbox360 and now also a PS3. I used to have AC Ryan Playon!, but now I want to use my PS3 as mediastreamer for my Home-cinema.

I like UMS a lot. The only thing I can't find (or understand) is how do I stream M3U or other playlists so I can see them on my PS3 from which i can start these.

The format of the playlist can be different, for instance:

Code: Select all

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-name="name" tvg-logo="",logo
http://xxx.xx.xx.xxx:8000/live/user/password/1.ts
#EXTINF:-2 tvg-name="name" tvg-logo="",logo
http://xxx.xx.xx.xxx:8000/live/user/password/2.ts
or

Code: Select all

Channel name:name
URL:http://xxx.xx.xx.xx:8000/live/user/password/1.ts
Channel name:name
URL:http://xxx.xx.xx.xx:8000/live/user/password/2.ts
or like this:

Code: Select all

http://xxx.xx.xx.xxx:8000/live/user/password/1.m3u8 #Name: name
http://xxx.xx.xx.xxx:8000/live/user/password/2.m3u8 #Name: name
Hopefully you can help me to get this working.
Thanks a lot.

Grts.
