Description of the bug

Jellyfin version 10.10.6 library scan doesn't recognize and add (*.m3u8, *.m3u) files to library

The best workaround is to create a .strm file with .m3u8 url in it

Reproduction steps

  1. create a new library
  2. Make sure that folder has few .m3u8 files
  3. After scan completes m3u8 aren't available in library

What is the current bug behavior?

m3u8 and .m3u are skipped because these extension are NamingOPtions.VideoFileExtensions

What is the expected correct behavior?

m3u8 and .m3u should be added into library after scan without using ,strm container file

@cvium commented on GitHub (Apr 2, 2025):

Those file extensions were never handled as video files. You will need to use strm as a "container".
