Try opening the m3u8 URL directly in Safari, without embedding it in an 
web page in <video> tag.  That, at least, should work on iOS devices.  
What leads you to believe that <video> tag supports apple adaptive 
streaming anyway?

As far as I know with <video> tag you can only reasonably expect 
non-fragmented mp4 files and webm files to work (mp4s in Chrome, IE9+, 
Safari, webm in Chrome and Firefox).  Also, make sure the mp4s are h264 
with YUV in 16-236 spec (not full swing), otherwise Chrome won't play it.
