Unable to play .m3u8 file with flutter package better player

Question

I have a .m3u8 file that contains information about a video but I am unable to play it using the BetterPlayer Flutter package. This is my sample code

var dataSource = BetterPlayerDataSource(
    BetterPlayerDataSourceType.file,
    "/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/B0391873-25D4-471A-AB13-05D5FF8701F9/Documents/content.publicId/test.m3u8",
    subtitles: null,
    headers: {"cookie":"COOKIE_FOR_AWS_CLOUDFRONT_ACCESS"},
    liveStream: true
  );

But I keep getting this error:

GetDataFromUrl failed: Invalid argument(s): No host specified in URI /var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/FE19C886-73B8-49C0-A770-6BAEAD354947/Documents/content.publicId/test.m3u8

Failed to load video: Error Domain=CoreMediaErrorDomain Code=-12865
"(null)" [VERBOSE-2:ui_dart_state.cc(209)] Unhandled Exception:
PlatformException(VideoError, Failed to load video: The operation
couldn’t be completed. (CoreMediaErrorDomain error -12865.), null,
null)

These are the contents of the .m3u8 file:
