I am not a fan of our current input json, and was already planning to change it, but it's inevitable now that we want to add support for transcoding (issue #27).
We don't need to add the transcode action support now, but I believe the combine action is more explicit than the needs_index attribute and we avoid the nested bitrates playlists included in the variant playlist, that made the stream discover too complex.
