Playing HLS with 3.0.x

[alexeysad]

Hello,

I'm trying to open a HLS stream which worked just fine for me in 2.2.1 but doesn't work with 3.0.4.

What happens is that I open the stream with an URL like this:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/live/Stream_1

And this retrieves an m3u8 playlist with the following content:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:6
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=4000640,RESOLUTION=720x576
/live/Stream_1?subfile=Stream_1_1.m3u8

I can see in the debug messages that VLC doesn't seem to know what to do with the nested playlist reference because it ignores everything after "?" in the url and doesn't see the "m3u8" extension in the nested file.
As I've already said 2.2.1 works just fine with the same HSL playlist. So, I was just wondering if this change was intentional or there is a chance that it can be fixed somehow?

Thanks.
