The issue at hand is that i have no testcases.
People either post testcases for 3rd party tools not for FFmpeg
or dead links or half m3u8 files

I could also say the issue is that we have noone like carl who
replied to users and asked for full replicatable bug reports.

Once we have replicatable testcases, we can discuss which is the
smartest way to fix them.

thx
