AVPlayer not playing m3u8 from local file
I am trying to get AVPlayer to play a m3u8 playlist that is a local file. I have narrowed this down to a simple test case using one of Apple's sample playlists: https://tungsten.aaplimg.com/VOD/bipbop_adv_fmp4_example/master.m3u8 If i play this playlist from the remote url, AVPlayer plays this fine. However, if i download this playlist to a local file, and then hand AVPlayer the local file URL, AVPlayer will not play it. It just shows the crossed out play symbol. Interestingly enough, this can be duplicated with Safari as well. Safari will play the remote playlist but not the local file. Also
