Hi,

I've seen two problems with current hls download process:

1. With --hls-use-mpegts, ffmpeg must be used in all cases because native doesn't support it:
   At the moment, it only works if combination of protocol and hls-prefer options gives ffmpeg.
2. m3u8 fixup doesn't need to be done when ffmpeg is used:
   At the moment, it's also done with m3u8_native and --hls-prefer-ffmpeg.
