m3u or m3u8 are playlist files. These are not streams. Most likely the webadmin screwed that up and assigned the wrong mime type. However there is an easy fix. Download (save as) this m3u file, open it with any text editor and extract the url for the stream from that file. -H -- Henning Follmann | hfollm...@itcfollmann.com
