# Use unencrypted m3u8 streams (See https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/4118)
# NB: nowadays, recent ffmpeg and avconv can handle these encrypted streams, so
# this adaptive -> flash workaround is not required in general, but it also
# allows bypassing georestriction therefore is retained for now.
# 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
# unencrypted m3u8 streams (see https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/4118)
# 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.
