Answer
You need to set the CORS header of stream files ..../playlist.m3u8 and it's needed when the player works in HTML5 Mode (on new releases of Chrome the Flash plugin has blocked by default)
Access-Control-Allow-Origin:*
It's a mechanism similar to Flash.
You can test your CORS HLS streams on hls.js demo page: http://video-dev.github.io/hls.js/demo/
