What if encoding is not UTF-8?

Firstly, *m3u8 files must be in utf-8 (for m3u it’s a little more complicated). Perhaps the author of the issue has a playlist from various sources made manually . Secondly. Nothing big will happen. In most cases, the playlist will load, but some channel names (some symbols) may not display correctly.

Maybe use chardet?

Yes. This option is possible. I thought about it also. But... This option requires separate discussion and making a separate request for this feature. The main dilemma is a performance vs correct channel name display (relevant for large playlists).
