[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avformat/hls allow playback when some variant streams are unavailable

My last patch was slightly convoluted and really dumb.

I suspect it impacts on a couple of checks for
variants[0]->playlists[0]->finished and the problem will be when a non live
stream has two variants using EXT-X-ENDLIST and the first stream in the
playlist is down? Not sure how to approach this, will look into it more
later.
