What is a .m3u8 file?
M3U8 (.m3u8) is a UTF-8 M3U playlist, most importantly the backbone of HTTP Live Streaming (HLS). An HLS media playlist lists timed media segments with #EXTINF tags and directives like #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION, and a master playlist points to alternate bitrate renditions.
How to use this file
Use an example .m3u8 file to test HLS parsers and players, segment and directive extraction, and adaptive-streaming tooling, or as a plain UTF-8 M3U playlist.
