Hi,

I am trying to download a playlist.m3u8 file using youtube-dl. The contents of the file look like this:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=2000000,RESOLUTION=1920x1080
chunklist_b2000000.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=1300000,RESOLUTION=1280x720
chunklist_b1300000.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=800000,RESOLUTION=854x480
chunklist_b800000.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=400000,RESOLUTION=640x380
chunklist_b400000.m3u8

Content of chunklist_b2000000.m3u8, for example, looks like this:

#EXTM3U

But the downloaded file can't be opened with VLC. Any ideas what am I doing wrong? Or is this a bug?

Works perfectly with VLC for me. Rename to mp4.
