UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x8b in position 1: invalid start byte #320

I get this error when doing m3u8.load("https://cdn-vod-1.nxplay.com.br/hls/movies/94934c51-70e8-4583-8fac-2e045529c6d6/media_0.mp4/index-v1-a1.m3u8")

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x8b in position 1: invalid start byte

Not quite sure why... It seems to be the code in httpclient.py, but can't get my head around it.

The response is gzip encoded (the 8b in the error message gives it away, but also see the content-encoding header)

urllib doesn't automatically unzip the data, so a patch will be needed that checks the content encoding and passes it through gzip.decompress or similar.

I initially thought that might be the issue, but it seemed to work fine with other gzip encoded responses (but I'd have to double check)

Sorry for the late reply @wabiloo

Working on it
