Basic Operation
HLS Stream Viewing
To view an HLS stream, point a browser to the following address:
http://<
IP_ADDRESS
>/media/<
name
>.m3u8
Example
: http://192.168.1.15/media/MYTV-1.m3u8
You can also find the Stream URL in the IP Streaming tab on the far right.
Important Note
The browser used to view HLS streams must be enabled for Native HLS Playback. This
may involve installing a Plug-In to enable this functionality.
For example, Chrome requires a free Plug-In that can be downloaded and installed.
