M3U/PLS Files

It is possible to convert M3U/PLS files to JSON files (i.e. Media Station X content pages) with following URLs.
- M3U:
http://msx.benzac.de/services/m3u.php?headline={HEADLINE}&background={BACKGROUND}&type={TYPE}&url={URL} - PLS:
http://msx.benzac.de/services/pls.php?headline={HEADLINE}&background={BACKGROUND}&type={TYPE}&url={URL}
Note: For HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) files (i.e. M3U8 files), please use the video/audio action (e.g. video:http://link.to.hls.m3u8), because these URLs are only suitable for converting simple playlist files. Please note that this is an online service. Therefore, only publicly available playlist files can be converted. Generally, it is more recommended to host JSON files instead of converting playlist files as they provide much more functionality.
