Hi,

I've recently noticed that after VLC 3.0.17.4 upgrade some .m3u8 streams cannot be opened without any message or log file.

Here's an example: https://starvod.siliconweb.com/hls/p/71 ... index.m3u8

Issue has been temporarily solved by replacing libadaptive_plugin.dll in C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins\demux folder, with an older 3.0.16 libadaptive_plugin.dll.

Hope for fixing.
Thanks!

Yes, I can reproduce the issue. This stream doesn't work with libadaptive_plugin.dll from v3.0.18-RC either.
But libadaptive_plugin.dll from v3.0.16 fails with some other streams.
