Can't play m38u files

[gartiol]

I am trying to get Jellyfin to play (stream) m3u8 files from an external online source.

An example of a file I would like Jellyfin to play is this file: https://drod20m.akamaized.net/all/clear/...ifest.m3u8

When downloaded the file looks like this:

#EXTM3U

If I try to play that file with Jellyfin, Jellyfin won't play the best version/resolution of the file (1920x1080). Jellyfin will only play the first version listen (640x360).

To fix that error i have made a new m3u8 file with links to audio and video sources.

This file looks like this:

#EXTM3U

#EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=AUDIO,GROUP-ID="audio",NAME="English",LANGUAGE="en",AUTOSELECT=YES,DEFAULT=YES,URI="{censored IPTV URL - TDP}-20240300_FullHD_16x9_VideoMain_audio_192kbps.mp4"

#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=6447199,RESOLUTION=1920x1080,CODECS="avc1.640029,mp4a.40.2",AUDIO="audio"
{censored IPTV URL - TDP}-20240300_FullHD_16x9_VideoMain_video_5500.mp4

When I try to play that with Jellyfin, Jellyfin just stops.

The following errors shows up in the logs:

FFmpeg exited with code 234
[2025-01-28 16:56:54.174 +01:00] [ERR] Error processing request. URL "GET" "/videos/3428acde-9c9a-4b29-e7b9-7847a945c0dd/live.m3u8".
MediaBrowser.Common.FfmpegException: FFmpeg exited with code 234

From ffmpegs log:

It is my understanding that protocols can be added to ffmpegs whitelist. But I still have to figure out if that is the actual problem.

Can the problems be fixed, or am I simply trying to get Jellyfin to play something, that it just cant do?

Pointers and help will be greatly appreciated.
