I have a list of ts files. For each ts file I have an m3u8 file. But for some ts files I don't have m3u8 files. My m3u8 file is in the below format(showing the already existed file).
This file already in my system, I don't know how it was created(may be with a command or manually)
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:4
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:3
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0
#EXTINF:3.000000,

#EXT-X-ENDLIST
I have created the m3u8 file for the missing files according to slhck's answer. After creation of file, it played well, but when I navigate video stops for sometime it is taking 20 sec delay. Look at the below file I created manually.
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0
#EXT-X-ALLOW-CACHE:YES
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:61
#EXTINF:3600.080000,
mysecondvideo.ts
#EXT-X-ENDLIST
But when I played the above file through browser, It is not at all playing. I read the articles about m3u8. But It didn't work for me.
Please help me with creating the m3u8 file, so that I can play on the browser without any delays.
P.S: I don't want to re encode my video. I am not streaming the video live
Thanks in advance.

"below file I created" — is that the file you created manually, or did ffmpeg create that for you? Please show the exact command you were using to create the file, and show the entire command line output from ffmpeg as well. And I'm still confused: In your first example, you have a M3U8 that is working, and it referencesvideo.ts, but you say the file is missing? Or isvideo.tsjust an example? Please use the actual file names so it's clear which one you are referring to.

@slhck I don't have any logs, files to show how the m3u8 file was created. Technically I don't know the exact command used to implement the m3u8 file.
