iPad cannot play m3u8

Hi,

I'm trying to play this stream:

http: //delta-media.mediasocial.tv.s3.amazonaws.com/Videos/705/ios.m3u8

on the iPad but get "File could not be played" error. This stream opens ok in VLC. Here is a link to the test page:

http://delta-static.mediasocial.tv/FlashMobile6/m3u8file.html

I've also created a test page that loads the same video but via an rtmp stream. This works:

http://delta-static.mediasocial.tv/FlashMobile6/rtmpfile.html

Please advise. Thanks.

Can you try to set up the m3u8 with a <video> tag?

Do you mean to modify the m3u8 stream itself, to add a <video> tag ? If yes, I'm not sure how to do that.
