BANDWIDTH format change on Twitch playlists

[ilyalissoboi]

It appears that Twitch.tv is breaking/changing specification by producing master playlists that have bandwidth described by a floating point number instead of an integer.

An example of such a playlist can be seen here.

Is it possible to accommodate that change by changing the expected bandwidth format in the module?

BANDWIDTH

The value is a decimal-integer of bits per second.  It represents the peak segment bit rate of the Variant Stream.

I think we should let it parsed to int as is stated by the "official spec"

Maybe in the "worst" case we could normalize the value but that would imply that all values should be normalized (based on formats...), I don't know if this is good either.

Or a better solution would be returning a wrapper around int parser that removes any decimal float but then we're might hiding a non-expected spec....

@globocom/videos3 any thoughts?

[flavioribeiro]

based on the example provided by @ilyalissoboi we can receive as float and cast to int
