Live Links

So there are a few types of live links.

1) M3U HLS feeds

These are most common these days. You send an m3u or m3u8 playlist file that keeps getting extended with chunks. Each chunk can be .ts or similar. Handles video and audio, useful since you go in chunks and can dynamically switch quality.

2) Mp3/Aac feeds Basically you try playing an mp3 or aac file which just never ends, the file just keeps going with latest data.

Internet radio used to be 2, but is moving towards 1.

These are useful to play in VLC or something on your phone eg on a bike ride without needing bloated webpages and apps.

Note: I am using HTTP and not HTTPS on purpose. VLC media player will parse metadata in HTTP and icecast streams, but not HTTPS. And I want track info.
