Hi everybody,

on my site, wordpress has to deliver some .m3u8 files (HLS stream index files) to the frontend and the file is not being recognized by my video player. I found out that it may be a problem with the server not sending the right mimetype. The right mime type should be vnd.apple.mpegURL or application/x-mpegURL and is being served as application/octet-stream.

Under roles/wordpress-setup/templates/includes.d/development, staging and production I created the file content-types.conf.j2 with the following content:

```
types {
    application/x-mpegURL m3u8;
    video/MP2T ts;
    application/dash+xml mpd;
}
```

but it didn’t make any difference. Any help here is more than appreciated!!

Thanks in advance!

That path should be `roles/wordpress-setup/templates/includes.d/<name of site>/content-types.conf.j2` as our docs specify: [https://roots.io/trellis/docs/nginx-includes/](https://roots.io/trellis/docs/nginx-includes/)
