Audio Streams without a file extension at the end of the URL fail to play

[kyl416]

I don't know if this is something specific to IPTV Simple or Kodi overall, but I recently upgraded to the v18 Leia RC4, and any audio stream URLs that don't have a file extension at the end of the URL fail to play:

For example this URL doesn't work:
http://bbcwssc.ic.llnwd.net/stream/bbcwssc_mp1_ws-eieuk

This occurs both on Ubuntu 18.10 and on Android via my Nvidia Shield TV.

I had no problem with these URLs when I was on v17 Krypton.

It looks like it's related to the audio decoder addons, I disabled all of them and the streams started working again.

I personally have no use for those addons, but if anyone does, that could be a problem. I don't know if it's something isolated to iptvsimple or something involving those audo decoder addins though.
