LHLS Support - Low-Latency HLS about mamba HOT 1 OPEN

@bijanmmarkes Thanks for your feature request.

mamba is a library for parsing HLS into a editable object, which you can edit live in your tvOS/iOS/macOs app, and then output your edited HLS for playback.

So, there is no "player". It's expected that the user would be intercepting HLS before it gets to your player (likely AVFoundation), parsing and editing it and outputting new HLS to feed into the player.

It can parse all forms of HLS (Live, VOD and Event, and in fact, has some special handling for Event playlists to improve performance)

Given that, you are correct that we do not have LLHLS support, but it would be fairly simple to add this support. If you look at the PantosTag enum, that is a list of all the "official" HLS tags that mamba knows how to parse natively. So, one could add the new tags to that enum and I think that might be all that's required.

If you wanted to read data out of those tags, you might need to add entries to PantosValue as well.

It might also be that the new Delta update would break our parsing (I'm not certain). In which case, there might need to be bug fixes for that.
