getting HLS stream with -f best option instead of single file URL

[gkreidl]

I'm using youtube-dl in my omxplayerGUI application on the Raspberry Pi to extract the video URL (-g option) and to play it afterwards with omxplayer(GUI). HLS is not supported and so I have been using the "-f best" option to get the URL of a single stream (Audio+Video). I updated today from github and now I'm getting HLS/m3u8 URLs from ard/mediathek instead of single stream URLs. Is this a bug or are there better general options now to avoid HLS? I need a global format option that gets the best quality but always avoids HLS.

-f best[protocol!=m3u8][protocol!=m3u8_native]?

Yes, what @fstirlitz suggested should be enough to filter HLS.

No. this doesn't work. Here's an example:

youtube-dl -F "http://mediathek.daserste.de/Sportschau-live/Ski-Alpin-Abfahrt-der-Damen/Das-Erste/Video?documentId=25486050&topRessort&bcastId=723230" [ARD:mediathek] 25486050: Downloading webpage [ARD:mediathek] 25486050: Downloading media JSON [ARD:mediathek] 25486050: Downloading m3u8 information [info] Available formats for 25486050: format code extension resolution note a0-rtmp-1 unknown_video unknown

Correction -f best[protocol!=?m3u8][protocol!=?m3u8_native].
