Bug#808385: mplayer cannot play m3u8

[Jean-Philippe MENGUAL]

Package: mplayer
Version: 2:1.2-1+b1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

I tried a new URL to play a Canadian radio.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

This url gives a weird result:
http://985-lh.akamaihd.net/i/studioaudio_1@393647/master.m3u8

If I do instead:
#!/bin/bash

##on cré un tube
date=`date +%F-%H:%M:%S`
mkfifo /tmp/$date



ffmpeg -re -i "http://985-lh.akamaihd.net/i/studioaudio_1@393647/master.m3u8" -acodec copy -vcodec copy -f mpegts -y /tmp/$date &
pid=$!

It works.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

mplayer "jumps" and displays:
[aac @ 0x7f51bc135540]element type mismatch 1 != 0

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

It should play
