How can i play an m3u file, which is a live stream from a radio station. Is it possible currently? I have had no luck with the sound block so far. All help is much appreciated. Thank you. ---

there is an m3u file that if you use windows media player, it will play the live stream from the radio station. I am wondering, is there a way in the app to make it work like windows media player and play from the m3u file ---

The M3U file in my case contains the URL. You need to open this file and read the link. It’s just not possible in Thunkable X. You can try to save the file on Android and then specify the absolute path to this file in the “open link” block. ---
