Streaming M3U8 Playlist

Question

User-1485661851 posted
Hello I am trying to stream movies to my iphone using IIS. I have set up a folder in wwwroot called playlist . This folder stores a file called k.m3u8 and associated kxxxxx .ts files (segmented using vlc). I can see my webpage across my intranet that are stored in this virtual folder, so all the links and permissions are ok. However quicktime can not find the movie. If I change the extension to .m3u then quicktime attempts to load the movie but never does. So i guess the link is ok. I cannot find M3U8 listed in the MIME types. Is this the problem.? Do i need to set something up for .M3U8 files? I can get this sort of streaming to work when i use my mac and web sharing , but I am new IIS so I would appreciate any help and advice you can offer. Thank you regards kreid4. I am using windows 7 32 bit

Hi,

You need to add mime types settings for both .m3u8 and .ts extension. The settings will look like:

<mimeMap fileExtension=".m3u8" mimeType="application/x-mpegURL" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".ts" mimeType="video/MP2T" />

Thanks.
