- # m3u8 streams are encrypted and may not be handled properly by older ffmpeg/avconv.
- # To workaround this previously adaptive -> flash trick was used to obtain
- # unencrypted m3u8 streams (see https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/4118)
- # and bypass georestrictions as well.
- # Currently, unencrypted m3u8 playlists are (intentionally?) invalid and therefore
- # unusable albeit can be fixed by simple string replacement (see
- # https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/pull/6337)
- # Since recent ffmpeg and avconv handle encrypted streams just fine encrypted
- # streams are used now.
