m3u8 (HLS) streaming issue #202

Hi,

when playing back a HLS television stream (e.g. http://n24-live.hls.adaptive.level3.net/hls-live/n24-pssimn24live/_definst_/live/stream2.m3u8), which is composed of 10-sec "snippets", only those that are present in the m3u8 file are played and then the playback stops.

Obviously, this sucks for TV streaming (where the m3u8 file should be reloaded every X seconds to get the fresh pieces).

This feels like an ffmpeg issue. We just give a URL to ffmpeg and it returns video and audio packets to us. Does command line ffmpeg support this URL (on any platform)?
