1642	-f segment: automagically generate #EXTM3U tags to -segment_list generated playlists	kelexel		"Summary of the bug:
It is more a feature request actually.
When using -f segment and -segment_list, the produced playlist is not HTTPLiveStreaming friendly.
The request is to add a way to templat'ify the playlists generated with -sgement_list, or to at least give a third ""-segment_list_type extm3u""  to comply with HLS

When using something like: 

{{{
ffmpeg .... -f segment -segment_time 5 -segment_list_type flat -segment_list stream.m3u8 -y -segment_format mpegts  stream%05d.ts
}}}

Produces a playlist like:

{{{
test00001.ts
test00002.ts
}}}

We currently can produce playlists of the type -segment_list_type flat or -segment_list_type ext.
Flat corresponds to the HLS requirements BUT, we miss the valuable #EXTM3 tags on the top of the file, like

{{{
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:5
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:1

test00001.ts
test00002.ts
}}}

The above will play fine on iOS (tested via apache & nginx)
(libavformat/hls.c seems to have a few other tags listed.. https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/master/libavformat/hls.c#L741-746 )

Other per-file-tags might be useful too, but as you probably guessed, I'm no expert, I leave you wise guys figure that out.

Best regards
