@ken_fallon Could you please clarify what the need is?
The last time I saw an m3u file was for files on an Ipod or other media player.

The m3u files are use on all the streaming platforms to stream all the movies, and songs people listen to.

The idea here would be to create m3u files for each host
https://hpr.horning.us/correspondents/0285.html
https://hpr.horning.us/correspondents/0285.m3u

and

@ken_fallon This is especially good for long time hosts like Ahuka. ☺️

I have a working implementation of this for a hosts page in my local dev. environment.

The "Download the playlist" link works, and when I open that file in VLC I see the list of episodes and they play.

Unfortunately most browsers can not play an m3u/m3u8 file natively using the audio tag. You have to use javascript. Do we want to allow javascript for this capability on the website, with appropriate fall back message explanation for non-javascript browsers? Should this be a question for the mailing list for HPR user consensus?

Here is a page that has an open source GPL licensed m3u javascript player

My intitila thoughts were just to have the link to the m3u file so people would be able to download it.

This is interesting although we would need community buy in for javascript on the main site.

I will remove the javascript and HTML for the player for this issue and the PR so we can add the M3U playlist for download. Will then generate another issue and post to the mailing list to see if the community has buy in.
