In this mode you would either pool for file changes or just get updated playlist with new byte range (and that one should be updated after video file). I believe this restriction was already in place anyway, because there already were checks for HLS_SINGLE_FILE not being set, before doing actual rename, so this was just a simplification of those conditions.

Could you clarify what choice you're talking about? And the purpose of 
this choice - frankly you got me lost with this. Regardless, I feel 
we're getting off topic.

Not quite, temp files were already a feature, this commit narrowed 
conditions where they are used. If you're referring to change in 
hls_window about not checking TEMP flag - that is unrelated to current 
state (before commit introducing regression, check was ignoring TEMP 
flag, after commit it does take it into account - probably should be 
discussed with person responsible for original change as to why it was 
changed that way, so that's out of scope of this patch. Issue at hand is 
not using TEMP files at all and that is fixed by this patch.
