Loading a playlist

To load a playlist into an object from uri, file path or directly from string, use the load/loads functions:

import m3u8
playlist = m3u8.load('http://videoserver.com/playlist.m3u8')  # this could also be an absolute filename
print(playlist.segments)
print(playlist.target_duration)
# if you already have the content as string, use
playlist = m3u8.loads('#EXTM3U8 ... etc ... ')

Dumping a playlist

To dump a playlist from an object to the console or a file, use the dump/dumps functions:

import m3u8
playlist = m3u8.load('http://videoserver.com/playlist.m3u8')
print(playlist.dumps())
# if you want to write a file from its content
playlist.dump('playlist.m3u8')
