Playing m3u8 Files with HTML Video Tag
Might be a little late with the answer but you need to supply the MIME type attribute in the video tag: type=”application/x-mpegURL”. The video tag I use for a 16:9 stream looks like this. <video width=”352″ height=”198″ controls> <source src=”https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19782389/playlist.m3u8″ type=”application/x-mpegURL”> </video>
