Hello! I know this is probably not piracy, but I think that this community is the best one to ask this. I’d like to stream live TV on my jellyfin server, and in the future perhaps try to implement a way to silence the audio during ads, but I want to start a step at a time: Before going in jellyfin, let’s try with VLC that is easier. The live stream I’m trying to stream is taken from raiplay, the official website of RAI, the main italian tv station. I ignorantly just downloaded all the 4 .m3u8 files with this extension and, one at a time, I tried to open them with VLC, but all I obtained was VLC loading forever. What’s going on? did I missed something important?
[if you know of better ways to do this, any recommendation is welcome!]
thanks in advance!

Wait, that’s not a .m3u url, it’s a link to a html page instead. Just open it firefox and see if it works. In my case, I got this in firefox:
Why are you trying to overcomplicate things?
Use M3U tunner and add the list
