I watched a video on the internet, and captured the network trace. Inspecting the decrypted packets exported to a text file, I discovered the frame 909 as having the HLS chunk 0018.ts. Wireshark visualizes that frame in this way:
No. .Source... Destination.................................Protocol Length
909 10.0.2.15 d105emv5h26k8d.cloudfront.net HTTP2 433

Info
HEADERS[15]: GET /paessler/segment/f3922ee967ed449e8d56f9e7c98578ab/hls/1645113192470/f3922ee967ed449e8d56f9e7c98578ab-hls_00018.ts, WINDOW_UPDATE[15]

Not knowing the frame number, what can be a suitable filter to display that unique frame? I tried (http2 contains "18.ts"), and also other parts of the file name, for example (http2 contains "/segment/f392"), with no result.
Can you help please?
Thanks and Regards

For the sample file (http2-h2c.pcap) on the Wireshark wiki HTTP2 page:

http2.headers.path contains "human"

http2.header.value contains "human"

Good suggestion. I tried it, but it is not accepted, it remains in red. Luckily in the meanwhile a popup help appeared, suggesting "http2.request.full_uri". This in turn works, with the modifier contains etc Great!

So, in the end, a good filter is

http2.request.full_uri contains "whatever"

What version of Wireshark are you running?
Those http2 fields have been around at least since 2.6.0.

Wireshark 4.0.0 64 bit on Windows 10

I tested also the previous two suggestions:
-http2.headers.path contains "xyz"
-http2.header.value contains "xyz"
and indeed both are good and work. The first one can accept only the trailing part, beginning with "/paessler". The second one, even better, can accept parts of the destination server name, OR the method ("GET" in this case), OR the trailing part.
So, our arsenal of filters is enriched with three "guns".
Thanks
