   It absolutely does.

   Create a demo.php file

   <?php
   
   require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
   
   use Playwright\Network\RouteInterface;
   use Playwright\Playwright;
   
   $context = Playwright::chromium(['headless' => true]);
   $page = $context->newPage();
   
   $m3u8Url = null;
   
   $page->route('**/*.m3u8', function (RouteInterface $route) use (&$m3u8Url): void {
       $m3u8Url = $route->request()->url();
       $route->abort();
   });
   
   $html = <<<HTML
   <!doctype html>
   <html>
   <body>
   <script>
   fetch('https://example.com/video/playlist.m3u8').catch(() => {});
   </script>
   </body>
   </html>
   HTML;
   
   $page->goto('data:text/html,' . rawurlencode($html));
   $context->close();
   
   echo 'Captured m3u8 URL: ' . $m3u8Url;

   composer require playwright-php/playwright
   vendor/bin/playwright-install --browsers
   php demo.php

   Captured m3u8 URL: https://example.com/video/playlist.m3u8

   Thank you for the answer, after some changes it worked completely fine for my use case on my local machine. But when I added the app to my webserver the url is never extracted anymore it always fails. Does the package require some extra setup on Ubuntu? I've ran the install command again and I also ran the Playwright install-deps command.

   CI tests pass on the Ubuntu runner.. without knowing if code are comparable.

   What exactly happens? Can you load the page? Is there anything in the console?
