When I use a URL from Owncast streaming server it cannot be parsed. I get the following error:

Hello @micudaj,

Thanks for taking the time to report this issue.

For us to properly address it, could you provide the following information:

  1. Which version of the Plugin are you using (I'm assuming V3.1)
  2. Which version of JMeter are you using
  3. What's the operative system you are testing the plugin on
  4. The URL that is producing this behavior
  5. Any particular configurations that we should be aware of?

If any of this information happens to contain sensitive data, you can always email me the details to one of our emails ([email protected]), and we will properly store and review it.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Which version of the Plugin are you using (I'm assuming V3.1) --> 3.1
Which version of JMeter are you using --> 5.5
What's the operative system you are testing the plugin on --> Mac OS 12.6.2
The URL that is producing this behavior --> https://xyz.test.de/hls/2/stream.m3u8 (only internal resolvable)
Any particular configurations that we should be aware of? --> none, was a default setup following https://www.blazemeter.com/blog/hls-plugin#how

Do you know if this issue also happens with any of the public live streams of that platform?

So we can simulate it?

Kind regards,

happens also on streams from the owncast directory:
Go to https://owncast.online/ and scroll down for current streams.

e.g. https://live.retrostrange.com/hls/1/stream.m3u8

I saw that hlsparserj is archived, maybe this is of interest for you: https://github.com/carlanton/m3u8-parser

I think the problem is that hlsparserj is compliant with Version 12 of the Pantos spec, in which EXTINF tag MUST be followed by a media segment, but it in the released RFC this is no longer a MUST. https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8216#section-4.3.2.1
