I'm unable to open the plasylist neither the stream.m3u8 or master.m3u8 I tired both creating the playlist using .ts and .mp4 segment.  
I was playing around with ffmpeg and I used this cmd

```python
ffmpeg -y -i video.mp4 -c:v copy -c:a copy -f hls -hls_time 4 -hls_playlist_type vod -hls_flags independent_segments -hls_segment_type mpegts -hls_segment_filename hls_seg_%02d.ts -master_pl_name masterts.m3u8 streamts_%v.m3u8

```

do you have suggestion on how to improve the segmentation process and also the playlist editing? Since I think the problem might be in here

I also made a new post the other day with more detailed description of what I've done so far [Using playlist in webdev module to play long video](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/using-playlist-in-webdev-module-to-play-long-video/98256)
