download and unzip http://mcepl.fedorapeople.org/tmp/Bells_etc.zip to a directory on SD card

with some file manager click on bells.m3u file and let ServeStream play it

Expected: whole playlist is played
Observed: ServeStream opens with an error "Sorry, the play does not support this type of file"

This isn't a ServeStream bug. There a several issues with this playlist file. For one, it isn't a properly formatted m3u file. Also, the entries in the playlist contain no path or protocol. You can't pass the name of a media file and expect the player to find it in the file system.
