HLS Video playback

Displaying a HLS video requires you to provide a stream info file.

To stream video in HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) format, the video URL must be provided as below:

HLS Video URL

<<CDN_HOST>>/api/v1/assets/{ASSET_ID}/transcodes/playlist.m3u8

FileSpin dynamically generates and supplies playlist.m3u8 if HLS streams have been generated for a video.

The Content-Type HTTP header will be set to application/x-mpegURL by FileSpin automatically. Regardless, depending on the video player you use, you may have to provide content type in the video tag yourself as well.
