An M3U file is a plain text file that specifies the locations of one or more media files. The file is saved with the “M3U” or “m3u” filename extension.
DescriptionExample
File header. Must be the first line of the file.#EXTM3U
Track information, including runtime and title.
Directive | |
---|---|
#EXTM3U | #EXTINF |
Sample m3u file, create test.m3u and add content below:

HTTP Live Streaming
Simple HTTP URLs
HTTP URLs with options different variants to pass them.
where the URL and parameters are separated by space, or
where $OPT comes after the URL and only parameters are separated by space
User-Agent
Changing user agent on http connections
user-agent=someuseragent
X-Forwarded-For
The X-Forwarded-For (XFF) HTTP header field is a de facto standard for identifying the originating IP address of a client connecting to a web server through an HTTP proxy or load balancer.
Referer
The HTTP referer is an HTTP header field that identifies the address of the webpage (i.e. the URI or IRI) that linked to the resource being requested. By checking the referrer, the server can see where the request originated.
MMS/RTSP Live Streaming
[rtsp][mms]://url to media content
RTMP
rtmp://url – url path to RTMP Media Server
Complex RTMP
rtmp-rtmp://$OPT: options
rtmp://$OPT:rtmp-raw=rtmp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/app playpath=ef18hollywood swfUrl=http://www.xxxxxx.tv/resources/scripts/eplayer.swf live=1 pageUrl=http://www.xxxxxxxx.tv/ conn=S:OK live=1 token=SomeToken
pageUrl
url – URL of the web page in which the media was embedded. By default no value will be sent.
swfVfy
URL of the SWF player for this media. This option replaces all three of the swfUrl, swfhash, and swfsize options. When this option is used, the SWF player is retrieved from the specified URL and the hash and size are computed automatically. Also the information is cached in a .swfinfo file in the user’s home directory, so that it doesn’t need to be retrieved and recalculated every time rtmpdump is run. The .swfinfo file records the URL, the time it was fetched, the modification timestamp of the SWF file, its size, and its hash. By default, the cached info will be used for 30 days before re-checking.
swfUrl
URL of the SWF player for the media. By default no value will be sent.
tcUrl
url – URL of the target stream. Defaults to rtmp[e]://host[:port]/app/playpath.
playpath
playpath – Overrides the playpath parsed from the RTMP URL. Sometimes the rtmpdump URL parser cannot determine the correct playpath automatically, so it must be given explicitly using this option.
live
(live=1,live=0)Specify that the media is a live stream. No resuming or seeking in live streams is possible.
app
app – Name of application to connect to on the RTMP server. Overrides the app in the RTMP URL. Sometimes the rtmpdump URL parser cannot determine the app name automatically, so it must be given explicitly using this option.
conn
type:data – Append arbitrary AMF data to the Connect message. The type must be B for Boolean, N for number, S for string, O for object, or Z for null. For Booleans the data must be either 0 or 1 for FALSE or TRUE, respectively. Likewise for Objects the data must be 0 or 1 to end or begin an object, respectively. Data items in subobjects may be named, by prefixing the type with ‘N’ and specifying the name before the value, e.g. NB:myFlag:1. This option may be used multiple times to construct arbitrary AMF sequences. E.g. Multiple conn params are allowed.
flashVer
version – Version of the Flash plugin used to run the SWF player. The default is “LNX 10,0,32,18″.
token
- Key for SecureToken response, used if the server requires SecureToken authentication.
weeb
- weeb used by legacy weeb.tv servers. Invokes Authenticate method with token, username and password
buffer
num – Set buffer time to num milliseconds. The default is 36000000.

Initial release | c. 1996 |
Type of format | Playlist |
Extended to | HTTP Live Streaming playlist |
M3U (MP3 URL[1][2] or Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer 3Uniform Resource Locator[3] in full) is a computer file format for a multimedia playlist. One common use of the M3U file format is creating a single-entry playlist file pointing to a stream on the Internet. The created file provides easy access to that stream and is often used in downloads from a website, for emailing, and for listening to Internet radio.
Although originally designed for audio files, such as MP3, it is commonly used to point media players to audio and video sources, including online sources. M3U was originally developed by Fraunhofer for use with their Winplay3 software,[4] but numerous media players and software applications now support the format.
Careless handling of M3U playlists has been the cause of vulnerabilities in many music players such as VLC media player,[5]iTunes,[6]Winamp,[7] and many others.[8]
File format[edit]
There is no formal specification for the M3U format; it is a de facto standard.
An M3U file is a plain text file that specifies the locations of one or more media files. The file is saved with the 'm3u' filename extension if the text is encoded in the local system's default non-Unicode encoding (e.g., a Windows codepage), or with the 'm3u8' extension if the text is UTF-8 encoded.[9]
Each entry carries one specification. The specification can be any one of the following:
- an absolute local pathname; e.g., C:My MusicHeavysets.mp3
- a local pathname relative to the M3U file location; e.g. Heavysets.mp3
- a URL
Extended M3U[edit]
The M3U file can also include comments, prefaced by the '#' character. In extended M3U, '#' also introduces extended M3U directives which are terminated by a colon ':' if they support parameters.
Directive | Description | Example | Required | Standard |
---|---|---|---|---|
#EXTM3U | file header, must be the first line of the file | #EXTM3U | 1× | Yes |
#EXTINF: | track information: runtime in seconds and display title of the following resource | #EXTINF:123,Artist Name – Track Title | No | Yes |
additional properties as key-value pairs | #EXTINF:123 logo='cover.jpg',Track Title | No | IPTV | |
#PLAYLIST: | playlist display title | #PLAYLIST:Music TV | 1× | IPTV |
#EXTGRP: | begin named grouping | #EXTGRP:Foreign Channels | No | IPTV |
#EXTALB: | album information, title in particular | #EXTALB:Album Title (2009) | 1× | AL,[10] M3A[11] |
#EXTART: | album artist | #EXTART:Various | 1× | AL,[10] M3A[11] |
#EXTGENRE: | album genre | #EXTGENRE:Jazz Fusion | 1× | AL[10] |
#EXTM3A | playlist for tracks or chapters of an album in a single file | #EXTM3A | 1× | M3A[11] |
#EXTBYT: | file size in bytes | #EXTBYT:34124 | No | M3A[11] |
#EXTBIN: | binary data follows, usually concatenated MP3s | #EXTBIN: | No | M3A[11] |
#EXTENC: | text encoding, must be the second line of the file | #EXTENC: UTF-8 | 1× | No |
#EXTIMG: | cover, logo or other image | #EXTIMG: front cover | No | No |
Apple used the extended M3U format as a base for their HTTP Live Streaming (HLS)[12] which was standardized in 2017 by the IETF as RFC 8216.[13] Therein, a master playlist references segment playlists which usually contain URLs for short parts of the media stream. Some tags only apply to the former type and some only to the latter type of playlist, but they all begin with #EXT-X-
.
Directive | Example | Description |
---|---|---|
#EXT-X-START: | TIME-OFFSET=0 | |
#EXT-X-INDEPENDENT-SEGMENTS | toggle without parameters | |
#EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE: | VOD or EVENT | |
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION: | 10 | in seconds |
#EXT-X-VERSION: | 4 | |
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE: | 0 | |
#EXT-X-INDEPENDENT-SEGMENTS | toggle without parameters | |
#EXT-X-MEDIA: | NAME='English', TYPE=AUDIO, GROUP-ID='audio-stereo-64', LANGUAGE='en', DEFAULT=YES, AUTOSELECT=YES, URI='english.m3u8' | |
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF: | BANDWIDTH=1123000, CODECS='avc1.64001f,mp4a.40.2 | parameters have either one combined value or one per stream, separated by commas |
#EXT-X-BYTERANGE: | 1024@256000 | |
#EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY | toggle without parameters | |
#EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY-SEQUENCE: | 2 | |
#EXT-X-KEY: | METHOD=NONE | |

#EXT-X-I-FRAMES-ONLY | i-frame toggle without parameters | |
#EXT-X-SESSION-DATA: | DATA-ID=com.example.movie.title | |
#EXT-X-SESSION-KEY: | ||
#EXT-X-ENDLIST | end-of-list signal without parameters |
M3U8[edit]
The Unicode version of M3U is M3U8, which uses UTF-8-encoded characters. M3U8 files are the basis for the HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) format originally developed by Apple to stream video and radio to iOS devices, and which is now a popular format for adaptive streaming in general.
The 2015 proposal for the HLS playlist format uses UTF-8 exclusively and does not distinguish between the 'm3u' and 'm3u8' file name extensions.[14]
Internet media types[edit]
The only Internet media type registered for M3U and M3U8 is application/vnd.apple.mpegurl
, registered in 2009 and only referring to the playlist format as used in HLS applications.[15][16]
The current proposal for the HLS playlist format acknowledges two media types which it treats as equivalent: application/vnd.apple.mpegurl
and audio/mpegurl
.[14] Likewise, these are the two types recommended for HLS use by Microsoft.[17]
Project Video Playlist
For non-HLS applications, no media types were standardized or registered with the IANA, but a number of media types are nonetheless associated with the historical and ongoing use of the M3U and M3U8 formats for general playlists:
application/mpegurl
application/x-mpegurl
audio/mpegurl
audio/x-mpegurl
[1][2]
These types, plus application/vnd.apple.mpegurl
and application/vnd.apple.mpegurl.audio
, are supported for HLS applications by (for example) Microsoft's Windows 10[17] and Internet Explorer 9,[18] and LG's WebOS.[19]
Examples[edit]
- Example 1
This is an example of an extended M3U file on the Windows platform. Sample.mp3 and Example.ogg are the media files. 123 and 321 are the lengths in seconds.[20] A length of -1 or 0 may be used when the media file is a streaming file, as there is no actual, predefined length value. The value after the length is the title to be shown, which is generally the same as the location of the file which is on the second line. On the Mac OS X and Linux platforms, Unix paths are used.
- Example 2
This example shows how to create an m3u file linking to a specified directory (for example, a flash drive, or CD-ROM). The m3u file should contain only one string: the path to the directory. After starting, the media player will play all contents of the directory:
- Example 3
Here is another example, using relative format. The M3U file is placed in the same directory as the music, and directories must be preserved when moving the playlist to another device if subdirectories are used. This method is more flexible, as it does not rely on the file path staying the same.
This is the same file as above, saved as sample.m3u in C:Documents and SettingsUserMy Music
This format in an M3U allows copying to another device for playback. All files and directories referred to must also be copied.
- Example 4
Here is a mixed example:
Notes:
- Alternative and Classical are sub-directories of the directory that this playlist is stored in.
- 'Song' and 'New Song' are in sub-directories of the directory that this playlist is stored in.
- 'Stuff' is in the same directory that the playlist is stored in.
- 'Foo' is in the specified (Windows) volume and directory, which may or may not be the same directory the playlist is in.
- 'Bar' is in a different directory at the same level as the playlist directory. The double-dots reference the parent directory of the playlist directory, then into the sub-directory 'Other Music' to reach 'Bar'.
- 'Listen' is a Shoutcast stream.
- 'Mine' is an MP3 stored on a web server.
- Example 5
References to other M3U playlists, for example, are generally not well-supported.
- Example 6
The following is an example of a M3U playlist file for 'Jar of Flies' album by 'Alice in Chains' that was created by Mp3tag with the following custom option settings:[21][22][23]
- playlist extended info format =
'%artist% - %title%'
- playlist filename format =
'%artist%_%album%_00_Playlist.m3u'
- tag to filename conversion format =
'%artist%_%album%_$num(%track%,2)_%title%'
