How to open a HLS (.m3u8) video stream link in Telegram #328

Nikoh77 commented 1 year ago

Hello guys, I am using m3u8 module to manage video stream on my telegram bot. This bot work as a client for Shinobi video CCTV. Te problem: If I post on the chat the m3u8 link Telegram open it whith his internal browser (or other) like a text/html file. I'm not very familiar with multimedia, maybe it depends on the contents of the playlist file? Is there a way to make the video open directly in Telegram or in other app like VLC, without need to save .m3u8 or copy and paste on the media player manually?

m3u8 is the extension for the Apple HLS protocol. It is not playable out of the box.

In this case, Telegram should support it, not this library.
