Hello again,

After some verifications, either this, or increasing TS demux score is required.
Having psz_file set triggers this test : demux_IsPathExtension(
p_demux, ".m3u8" )
to be true, thus using the playlist demux instead of the TS demux
(which doesn't work that well)

Unless someone objects, I'll probably increase TS demux score so VLC
2.0.1 handles HLS on win32, unless a cleaner solution is found.

Regards,
