Hope it can be fixed in the next version, thank you very much! 👍🎉

It works if you set the "multimedia engine" in preferences -> general to mpv instead of mplayer.

It works if you set the "multimedia engine" in preferences -> general to mpv instead of mplayer. I know! However, when using mplayer's SMPlayer, it should also support .m3u8 equivalent streaming media playback. I think this is a problem on the client side, because mplayer also supports the rendering and playback of other streaming media videos such as YouTube. This is a very good start. . So hopefully you guys can resolve this issue from the client side. Thank you very much🙏!

same! Fixing this problem also satisfies more choices and usage scenarios for more users.

[smplayer-dev]

For mplayer, enable the option "Pass the -playlist option" in preferences -> advanced -> mpv/mplayer.

For mplayer, enable the option "Pass the -playlist option" in preferences -> advanced -> mpv/mplayer. With your settings, trying again .m3u8 still won't play. If you don’t believe it! You can also try it yourself.

I see. It works on Linux though. I guess it's a problem in that version for Windows. Unfortunately I couldn't find a version for Windows that works.
