This bordered area on the left has been mantained to recall that through iframe tag, it's possible play automatically the video in full screen in smartphones, depending on the applications therein installed. On mine I've installed after VLC and MxPlayer (that are unable to play video embedded in html pages because they lack of browsers plug-in in android), Vplayer, and the basic samsung video player. Using one of these two is possible the automatic video opening.


The output on my pc (where the mime type m3u8 is associated to vlc) is shown in the following image:

Three video starts: the first is usually the external VLC windows accessing to the adaptive streaming hls4 (labelled with 3 in the image), the second is the live streaming (labelled 2) the last is the embedded player reproducing the adaptive hsl4 as well (indicated by 1).

In the past of this page I've tried to use open source ex-adobe flowplayer (but it works only with flash formats).
flowplayer references before leaving two VLC (#1 and #2) and one iframe (#3)


I've added to httpd.conf of the apache server the following two lines
AddType application/x-mpegurl m3u8
AddType video/mp2t ts
If any conflict occurs with mime.conf, the Addtype in http.conf redefines it.

i've got an help from here
