Is there a way to get full URI of the m3u8 from the object directly?

Say I loaded an URI into m3u8 object with:

import m3u8 

m = m3u8.load("https://example.com/live/something.m3u8?para=value")

Afterwards I cannot retrieve the original URL (https://example.com/live/something.m3u8?para=value) from m anymore. It only seems to have m.base_uri (which would be https://example.com/live/), not anything about path, query parameters, etc.

That makes processing m3u8 kinda complicated in certain scenarios since only passing the object around isn't enough.

You're right that the only thing available is the base_uri. But since this is a Python object, you can solve your problem in one line:

>>> import m3u8 
>>> playlist_uri = "https://example.com/live/something.m3u8?para=value"
>>> m = m3u8.load(playlist_uri)
>>> m.original_uri = playlist_uri
>>> m.original_uri
'https://example.com/live/something.m3u8?para=value'
