Frequently Asked Questions

How to play M3U8 files in browser?

To play M3U8 files in your browser, you can use our online M3U8 player or any HTML5-compatible video player that supports HLS (HTTP Live Streaming). Simply paste the M3U8 URL into the input field above and click "Play". Modern browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge all support M3U8 playback through HTML5 video elements with the help of JavaScript libraries like hls.js or native HLS support.

For the best experience, ensure your M3U8 stream is accessible via HTTPS and that CORS headers are properly configured if you're embedding the player on a different domain.

How to embed M3U8 player in web page?

You can easily embed our M3U8 player into your website using an iframe. Here's the basic code:

<iframe src="https://m3u8player.co/player.html?url=YOUR_M3U8_URL" width="100%" height="400" frameborder="0"></iframe>
                

Replace "YOUR_M3U8_URL" with your actual M3U8 stream URL. You can also customize the width and height attributes to fit your layout. For more advanced integration, you can use JavaScript libraries like hls.js or video.js with the HLS plugin to create a custom player.

How to play M3U8 extension video?

M3U8 files are playlist files that contain references to video segments, not actual video files themselves. To play M3U8 videos, you need a compatible player that can parse the playlist and stream the video segments. Our online player automatically handles this process.

If you have a local M3U8 file, you'll need to ensure all referenced video segments are accessible. For online streaming, simply use the M3U8 URL directly. The player will automatically download and play the video segments in sequence, providing smooth playback with adaptive bitrate streaming when available.

Can VLC play M3U8?

Yes, VLC Media Player has excellent support for M3U8 files and HLS streaming. You can play M3U8 streams in VLC by:

1. Opening VLC and going to "Media" > "Open Network Stream"
2. Pasting your M3U8 URL in the network URL field
3. Clicking "Play"

VLC also supports local M3U8 playlist files. Simply drag and drop the M3U8 file into VLC or use "File" > "Open File" to browse for it. VLC's robust codec support makes it one of the most reliable options for playing various M3U8 streams and formats.
