Montage of 3 screenshots illustrating the bug in kdenlive and other things
kdenlive is unable to take an input of livestream digital AV content from a
network URL.
I thought the clue was in the name... kdenLIVE. But no :|
## Steps to recreate
0. Run `ffplay http://52.29.226.43:8935/stream/hello_world.m3u8`
1. See the test signal video test card (see image attached)
2. Open `kdenlive`
3. Go to Project > Add Clip or Folder
4. Paste the following path into the `Name:` field (see image attached)
```
http://52.29.226.43:8935/stream/hello_world.m3u8
```
5. Click OK
6. See error message (see attachment)
```
The file
"/home/chrishobcroft/Videos/http://52.29.226.43:8935/stream/hello_world.m3u8";
could not be found
```
First, it appears to be assuming that I am loading a file containing *recorded*
AV content **on the local machine**, not a file containing *livestreaming* AV
content **on a remote machine**.
It also perhaps doesn't support `hls` video segments (`.hs` files), packaged in
a `.m3u8` wrapper served over `http` over `IPv4`.
Either way, it's a shame that `kdenlive` doesn't allow me to edit with
livestreaming AV content.
I expect it is generally imagined that `kdenlive` doesn't allow network stream
- it's a video editor for *recorded* AV content.
> But what if kdenlive was a video editor for *livestreaming* content too?
Now that would be quite something, huh?
