Frequently Asked Questions

What is M3U8/HLS?

M3U8 is the playlist format for HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), a widely used protocol for delivering video over the internet. It breaks video into small chunks for adaptive streaming.

Why does my stream fail to load?

Most failures are caused by CORS restrictions. The stream server must allow cross-origin requests from browsers. Try a different stream or check the server configuration.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. Safari on iOS has native HLS support. Android Chrome uses HLS.js for playback. Both work seamlessly.
