Comment (by ARQfBfnD):

 Apple specifies:

 > Important: Playlists that specify byte range media segments require
 protocol version 4. In addition, they must include EXT-X-TARGETDURATION
 and EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE tags, and the media URI must reside on a separate
 line.

 Your last example had #EXTINF values that varied a lot (9, 3, 3, 6) from
 the TARGETDURATION 10. This is ok, IF:

 >    The server MUST divide the source media into individual Media
 >    Segments whose duration is less than or equal to a constant target
 >    duration.  Segments that are longer than the planned target duration
 >    can trigger playback stalls and other errors.

 >    The server SHOULD attempt to divide the source media at points that
 >    support effective decode of individual Media Segments, e.g. on packet
 >    and key frame boundaries.
