When creating a nested m3u8 playlist, ensuring that you follow a compatible format is crucial for it to work seamlessly with various media players and platforms. Here is a basic example of a nested m3u8 playlist format that is commonly used and compatible with most media players:
Code:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=800000,RESOLUTION=640x360
http://example.com/playlist1.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=1400000,RESOLUTION=960x540
http://example.com/playlist2.m3u8
In this example:
- The
#EXTM3U
tag specifies that this is an extended M3U file.
- The
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
tag indicates the version of the HLS specification used.
- Each
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF
tag provides information about the stream, such as bandwidth and resolution, followed by the URL to the actual media playlist file.
You can create a hierarchy by nesting multiple
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF
entries, each pointing to another m3u8 playlist or directly to video files. This allows for a structured and organized way to present different streams or qualities within a single playlist.
Make sure to replace the example URLs with your actual nested m3u8 playlist URLs or direct video links. By following this format and adjusting it to fit your specific needs, you should be able to create a compatible nested m3u8 playlist that can be used effectively in your setup.
