Accessing .m3u8 stream
Hi folks,
I am new to UMS and have been trying to make my server stream an internet live stream to my local network. I didn't really find any documentation and couldn't make it work, so maybe you guys can help me.
I added the following line to my WEB.conf:
videostream.Web,TV=ZDF,http://zdf1314-lh.akamaihd.net/i/de14_v ... aster.m3u8
The corresponding entry (ZDF) shows up (as directory) when I access the server via my TV or the browser. However, the directory contains only further .m3u8 files that cannot be played either way.
Do I have to do anything else to make this work (if it is possible at all)?
Cheers

Re: Accessing .m3u8 stream
Try using the Jumpy plug in and then setting up an "earmark" for the website you would like to stream. Its a rather complicated task to just explain here but there is a whole topic on how to do it here Jumpy. If that won't play the webstream its likely the websites security doesn't allow viewing videos externally like that.
