If we parse the YoutubeDL JSON or the whatever to-be-defined serialisation 
format directly in the access plugin, then there's no point in redirecting:
You can just wrap the native HTTP plugin via vlc_stream_NewURL() and catch the 
STREAM_GET_META control.

So there's really no point in extending the redirection to support metadata.
