Bug Description
I am trying to play streams from tv.nrk.no using HLS. On Ubuntu desktop, I open these streams in VLC and can watch live TV or old programmes from the Norwegian state broadcasting company. When downloading the stream, it was not associated with any programme and could not be played. I do not know if the media player app currently plays HLS streams, but it should. If it already does, the app is not associated with .m3u playlist files needed to open the streams.
(I also tried other ways of watching the contents, but neither worked: HTML5 embedded HLS stream in Ubuntu touch browser, likewise in Firefox, new beta player in Firefox, new beta player in Ubuntu touch browser. As a default, tv.nrk.no uses flash, but there are other options for non-flash users, none of which work on Ubuntu touch. This is a big deal for Norwegians using Ubuntu touch on phone or tablet. At least it is for me.)
I am using OTA 11 on M10 FHD with Norwegian localisation.
