+ # m3u8 streams are encrypted and may not be handled properly by older ffmpeg/avconv.
+ # To workaround this previously adaptive -> flash trick was used to obtain

+ # and bypass georestrictions as well.
+ # Currently, unencrypted m3u8 playlists are (intentionally?) invalid and therefore
+ # unusable albeit can be fixed by simple string replacement (see
+ # https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/pull/6337)
+ # Since recent ffmpeg and avconv handle encrypted streams just fine encrypted
+ # streams are used now.
