VOD in a browser?

[metal450]

Is it possible to view VOD in a browser, or only live streams?

For VOD, I'm able to view files in VLC via vlc http://localhost:8080/vod/[media-path]/index.m3u8. But for the html player (using play.html), the Readme only shows an example for streams, not VOD.

• If I try the index.m3u8 path in Firefox, it just provides it as a file download. In Brave, it renders it as text.
• I tried http://localhost:8080/vod/[media-path]/play.html, http://localhost:8080/vod/[profile]/[media-path]/play.html, http://localhost:8080/vod/[media-path]/[profile]/play.html, but I always get 404 profile not found

If not yet possible...feature request? :)

@metal450 implemented for master playlist, so the url is http://localhost:8080/vod/[media-path]/play.html and the player contains now quality selector.

Wow, ultra quick turnaround, thanks!!

Hmm, actually somehow I still can't get it to work. I took the exact vod path that works in VLC (which Firefox sends as an index.m3u8 download), i.e.

http://10.8.0.1:8080/vod/V_20240519_074326_ES5.mp4/index.m3u8

And per the updated readme, just change to

http://10.8.0.1:8080/vod/V_20240519_074326_ES5.mp4/play.html

However, it's still reporting 404 profile not found. I've pulled the latest master. Here's the back-to-back logs of those 2 requests:

Ah, I'm an idiot. Pulled the new code but forgot I had to explicitly remove the docker image so it would rebuild. Works now, great work!
