The original ticket is referring to HLS, and specifically the manifest
of HLS, which means a remotely-hosted M3U playlist.

In principle, the user could download the playlist, convert any
relative URLs to absolute URLs, and percent-encode the URLs.

In practice, for most users, the URL will simply not play (or will skip
any segments containing colons in the URL) without any indication of
why the URL is failing.

Thanks,

Tim
