I cannot take responsibility for third party code. I can only move the plugin 
to lower priority than the HDS, adaptive, etc. modules. But that requires that 
the "playlist parsers as demuxers" patchset gets merged first.

I have made a new version using JSON so we don't lose metadata on the IPC. But 
so far I have used in only two ways:
- To extract the duration, which could have been done with M3U as well.
- To abide by the preferred resolution when selecting format, just like last 
year's out-of-tree YTDL plugin already did.

So if there are other pieces of metadata worth extracting, please clarify.

For now, I'll merge the plugin as disabled by default. I will leave out the 
redirection feature as it is heavily dependent on whether the other patchset 
is merged or not.
