Get a m3u8 playlist for live streaming for video file

Takes fileid (or path) of a video file and provides links (in the same way getfilelink does with hosts and path) from which a m3u8 playlist for HTTP Live Streaming can be downloaded.

Optional parameters are abitrate, vbitrate, resolution and skipfilename.

These have the same meaning as in getvideolink.

The defaults are the same as for getvideolink.

Output

On success it will return array hosts with servers that have the file. The first server is the one we consider best for current download.

In path there will be a request you should send to server. You need to construct the URL yourself by concatenating http:// or https:// with one of the hosts (first one) and the path.
