Core checks for m3u8 and HLS playback
What is an m3u8 file?
+
m3u8 is essentially a "playlist", similar to a music playlist you create in a music app — except it lists video segment URLs instead.
For example: when watching a movie in MP4 format, it's a single complete file. But in m3u8 format, the movie is split into hundreds of small segments (each about 5-10 seconds), and the .m3u8 file lists all these segment URLs in order.
