RE: [PHP] PHP/M3U Questions!!!

nevermind! I'm all set I believe. I took a look at an m3u file in notepad that had stream files(as in I told it to play a URL). Apparently the number after the #EXTINF is always -1 for a streamed file. So thanks for all the help. --Chris -----Original Message----- From: Kurth Bemis [mailto:kurth@usaexpress.net] Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2001 5:21 PM To: cuzo@mediaone.net; PHP General List (E-mail) Subject: RE: [PHP] PHP/M3U Questions!!!
