Is it possible to do HLS with an Apache web server? Would it be enough to "put here the playlist with data chunks"? Is it that simple? Or is there some module, which can be used for that purpose?

Thanks a lot for the reply

Yes, it's sufficient to merely have the m3u8 and segmented ts files available. The benefit of HLS is that it is bog simple HTTP.

It's possible that you'll have to setup the mime types in Apache, but it's probably correct by default.
