m3u's no longer able to stream URL's - still

Don't call this a duplicate, it is NOT.


In firmware before 20151 you could place a stream url in a m3u and the Box would stream that - that was then broken in future versions (and has been broken for 5 months and counting)

If made a text file called say "twittv.m3u" and placed a text line with the url, like this: http://bglive-a.bitgravity.com/twit/live/high

You could navigate to this file and Boxee Box would play the stream.

You broke this with when you fiddled with the m3u handling.

The "workarounds" in BOXEE-11031 are for other bugs, and doesn't NOT work with the live streaming.

Since this is about live and not local, this is not a copy of BOXEE-11031
