Read the documentation. Or run 'ffmpeg --help' If you are using windows get latest static build from here.

If you have a .m3u8 stream just use ffplay like this from the cmd prompt.

ffplay -x 800 -y 500 "M3U8 STREAM GOES HERE"

You can't do it with ffmpeg/ffplay. Use URLsnooper or similar program to catch those streams.
