Where's the m3u8 link in there?

(I'm retrieving the page with Opera, which uses Chromium's render, but
possibly other stuff around it... Sigh.)

Have you tried using other mime types?

Someone here:
https://stackoverflow.com/q/6438680/3974309
uses this:

AddType application/x-mpegURL .m3u8
AddType video/MP2T .ts

While you use
application/vnd.apple.mpegurl
application/octet-stream

Chrome may be picky about that - as hinted in the SO posting.
Especially the latter may be a showstopper.
