Description
It's based on vlc.ecpp. This implementation adds pink play button, which serves playlist with stream link, playable by majority of media players.
Should work with every browser allowing to open files instead of only downloading them. The feature partially answers request in https://projects.vdr-developer.org/issues/1430.
Tested on Linux with Firefox and VLC.
The patch is applicable after applying patches from https://projects.vdr-developer.org/issues/2572.

I just want to add here:
This is the feature, that I was talking about in VDR-Portal several times. I'm happy to see it implemented by tmn505!
It allows to launch any external player that you like from the Live web interface directly.
No transcoding needed on the server (which saves energy) and no CPU decoding needed on the PC (which saves some more energy).
Thumbs up from me. Would be great if this could find its way into the project GIT.
Please also apply the "Remove NPAPI" patch. This old plugin system is dead on all current browsers.
