HLS doesn't properly resolve Relative URLs with a Leading Slash #139

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Suppose we tell Google TV to play a video URL: http://example.com/hls.m3u8

This file's contents look like:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1, BANDWIDTH=200000
/h1.m3u8

So technically Google TV SHOULD then hit: "http://example.com/h1.m3u8"

HOWEVER, it instead hits: "http://example.com//h1.m3u8"

Which naturally causes the playback to fail (since it's hitting the wrong path).

So can we get a fix for this?

[To reproduce: try using the Beamer app for Mac to stream to the Google TV app 
"Airtight". The Beamer app uses this format for it's HLS m3u8 files]

It is unclear if the issue is the resolution is from the HLS client (Google TV) 
or the Beamer app which is not correctly handling the URL requested. Can you 
reproduce using a different HSL setup (ie. dont use Beamer).

Remove the slash in /h1.m3u8, or replace it with ../

This also appears to apply with more complex URLs. So for example the URL: 
http://example.com/a/b/c/hls.m3u8

With contents:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1, BANDWIDTH=200000
/h1.m3u8

SHOULD then hit: "http://example.com/hls.m3u8"

However, it instead actually hits: "http://example.com/a/b/c//hls.m3u8"

And in reply to Dustin...: This is not a solution where we don't control the 
remote server...
