Adding a M3U playlist of online streaming links ?

Hi,
I checked other posts regarding adding playlists but did not find a working answer and solution so here I go.
I have a M3U playlist consisting of direct links to online videos and live streams (e.g., 1.1.1.1\xxxx.ts or 1.1.1.1\xxxx.mkv ). When I add each single one of them as a Live Stream, they work fine. But is there any way that I can add the M3U playlist as a whole; the same way all the videos are loaded from a local folder, for insistence, to avoid adding them one by one?

Thanks.

The answer is no as far as I can work out.
In Online Services you add streaming URL links not .m3u or .pls playlists.
There was a request previously (as playlists are more often published and also more stable than IPs) but it has not been actioned. see viewtopic.php?f=3&t=24013

Also Plugin Groovy which did handle playlists (after a fashion) has not been updated for years and now appears to have stopped work completely under recent releases see viewtopic.php?f=21&t=25227&p=121315#p121315
