M3U8Player is a Chrome browser extension that implements an HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) client. You can play .m3u8 files. It relies on HTML5 video and Media Source Extensions for playback. It works by converting MPEG-2 Transport Stream and AAC/MP3 streams into ISO BMFF (MP4) fragments. If a Web Worker is available in the browser, it can be used for asynchronous transcoding. It also supports HLS + fmp4.

What is an M3U8 file?

A file with the M3U8 file extension is a UTF-8 Encoded Audio Playlist file. They are plain text files that can be used by both audio and video players to describe where media files are located.

For example, an M3U8 file might provide references to online files for an internet radio station. Another might be created on your computer to build a playlist for your personal music or a series of videos.

Either way, the effect is the same: you can open the file and quickly and easily start playing the content the playlist points to. If you find yourself wanting to listen to the same songs over and over, you can create an M3U8 file to act as a shortcut in your media player to play those specific tracks.

The file can use absolute paths, relative paths, and URLs to point to specific media files and/or entire folders of media files. Other information in the file might be comments that describe the contents.

M3U8 is a file format for playing multimedia lists. Originally designed for audio files like MP3s, it's now widely used for video playlists as well. M3U8 can also specify online streaming audio sources. Many players and software applications support the M3U8 file format.
