The PlayHLS plugin enables Apple HLS stream to be played. HLS means HTTP Live streaming. The plugin can be installed using LMS and this 3rd party repository. http://bpaplugins.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/repo-playhls.xml
Apple HLS stream are normal URL with http:// and ending with m3u8 . The audio can be encoded with AAC, MP3 and AC-3. When trying to play non AAC URLs with this plugin it may be necessary to disable a File Type setting. The plugin relies on the 3rd party application ffmpeg to handle the HLS stream. The version of ffmpeg is important - it is not clear but version after 0.8 seem to be OK. Before installing the plugin - check that there is a build of ffmpeg available for your system. On many Ubuntu / Debian system there is a compatible fork of ffmpeg called avconv as part of the libavconv-tools package.
