Hi Steven,

Please review code.

I changed code, but I still have a question.
If EXT-X-START tag in playlist and users set live_start_index, the
live_start_index will not work
for current codes, which makes maybe users confused.
Is that OK?

In other hand, if make live_start_index valid when EXT-X-START tag in
playlist, maybe live_start_index needs a flag, or
make live_start_index default value is INT_MIN to distinguish.
becuase the live_start_index default value is -3, I have no idea to
distinguish users action or
default value when live_start_index=-3.

May I need to set default value=INT_MIN as live_start_index default value?
And only when does not exist EXT-X-START
tag in playlist, make live_start_index = -3 or users's configuration value.
I have no idea which is better~

Thanks a lot!
