Guys, thanks for all the workarounds. I eventually ended up creating a shell script on my stock SGS22U which will periodically download remote m3u8 playlists using predefined URIs and save them to a playlists folder. Hope that the possibility to "use m3u8 as a http:// stream" will be added in the near future, so there's no need to use such workarounds.. Thanks and take care! Martin

@andrewilley Thanks for all the tips! As I've pointed out already, even the basic music player, such as the stock Windows Media Player does support "using m3u8 as a http:// stream" out of the box flawlessly. Poweramp should definitely have this feature as well without a doubt.. Hope this feature will be implemented soon, since all the workarounds have some drawbacks, be it complex setup process, voiding warranty, non-working protected apps, etc.. Thanks and take care! Martin

Hi guys, thanks for the feedback! @6b6561Yes, this is exactly what this topic is all about.. I do not understand why this feature should not be implemented, since PA does already support streaming. PA's streaming functionality may be improved a bit for it to be just perfect. Using the "m3u8 as a http:// stream" works even with the stock WMP on Windows. This is the expected behavior of many other PA's users as well, at least according to all my thorough PA's forum, Google & Reddit searches.. @andrewilleyThanks for the both workarounds. However, as I pointed out, I do already use rclone-mount magisk module on some of my devices. It fetches music from my two dedicated servers remotely with no issues. The drawback is that you need to have unlocked bootloader and by this, you: Lose warranty Trip SafetyNet (cannot use Netflix, etc.) Is not a noob friendly solution for other users Also, I would like to use my daily driver (Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra) in my car and mirror it via Android Auto without unlocking bootloader, rooting, etc. That being said, this feature may also be very well welcomed by other PA's users and I could finally start using PA on a stock Android device as well. @maxmp Will you consider adding the possibility of "using m3u8 as a http:// stream" and possibly implementing the feature till the EOY or it is a no go? Thanks guys for your support! Martin

@MotleyG@andrewilley Guys, thanks for all the information. However, I'm advanced user and am well aware how to use the Poweramp. Used Poweramp on older Android devices with the rclone-mount magisk module to play music from my 1TB remote shares.. Please let me explain how I use Filerun: I have several folders -> each folder is one playlist (with its specific URL - m3u file) When I change (add/remove) music in a folder, its URL remains the same, yet the m3u content changes I enter the m3u playlist URL to the stock Windows Media Player and it works exactly as it should - it fetches the m3u file, parses it and plays all the remote songs flawlessly I guess this is the expected behavior. Honestly said, I didn't want to create this topic just for me, otherwise I'd stick with just the unlocked bootloader and magisk module on those devices. What I would like to achieve is to help other Poweramp users as well, since I googled and searched for several keywords on the remote/streamed playlists with no feasible solution. I have tried serving Poweramp streams with FLAC songs using the NGINX X-Accel while testing several MIME types, Content-Disposition headers, etc. and songs can be played flawlessly. I don't see a single point why this feature shouldn't be implemented taking into account that using remote playlists works perfectly fine even with the stock WMP and single songs are streamed flawlessly already using the Poweramp.. @maxmp Will you consider implementing the remote dynamic m3u/m3u8 playlist support in the foreseeable future or it's a no go? Thanks and take care! Martin

Hi, just bought a new license for Poweramp after a long time based on a friend's recommendation. To my surprise, Poweramp, allegedly the best music player for Android is missing such a basic feature as is a streaming m3u/m3u8 playlists. It works even in the stock Windows Media Player (WMP): In WMP, I add remote playlist URI for streaming (File -> Open URL) and save it to a playlist When I close/open WMP or reload the playlist, it will play newly added songs Why I expect this to work? Poweramp is the best Android music player It has pretty solid support for Android Auto According to my research, some people on this forum as well struggle to import remote playlists and are quite puzzled, since nothing happens Notes: I've been personally using dynamic playlists via FileRun for streaming FLAC music for a few years I do strongly believe that other Poweramp users would also very welcome such a useful feature Question: Will this feature be implemented till the EOY? Thanks and take care! Martin
