Ignore me,  I got into my head Paul was trying to hide multiple formats
under one.  I was too lazy to look at the code as why importer was
needed. 

PlayHLS is an oddity - the suffix m3u8 playlist &MIME is ambiguous, the
content needs ot be examined before determining whether the playlist can
either be m3u playlist or HLS ones.  So PlayHLS had to do a scan of m3u8
playlist and decide whether they are to be handled by LMS or PlayHLS.
There may be a better solution but part of the problem was learning how
the real world has implemented HLS and where the rules have not been
followed.
