.m3u8 is a file format for video streams. It works like a playlist, it's a file that defines a collection of individual video files, each being one small part of the stream.
m3u8's can't be played natively by a browser, and if the OP has enabled autoplay media, kbin is probably directing the browser to that URL, the browser can't play it in-tab, so it downloads it as a file instead.
Quirky little bug you found there OP. Codeberg would love to know.
Sorry, how does one go about letting Codeberg know?
Ah, well it seems they already know lol
Heck, someone else doing the dirty work is just my style
