Add support for names in m3u playlist

[ValdikSS]

Hello!
If you have an .m3u playlist with names, e.g. for IPTV, you expect names to be shown, not URL.

EXTINF:-1,MTV Dance

http://...

EXTINF:-1,MTV Hits UK

http://...

EXTINF:-1,MTV Rocks

http://...

Should be shown:
MTV Dance
MTV Hits UK
MTV Rocks

Actual result:
http://...

Now I'm working on this. Can you provide a sample file?

Doesn't work with playlist in the following format:

#EXTINF:-1 group-title="Региональные" tvg-name="TV_Bakhoristan" tvg-logo="",TV Bakhoristan
http://127.0.0.1:8000/pid/b10151ed052d5e501e653c8bfa7c51dc60312a11/stream.mp4
#EXTINF:-1 group-title="Региональные" tvg-name="TV_Safina" tvg-logo="",TV Safina
http://127.0.0.1:8000/pid/d382c123007f1bbd0ccc6d2acc6767c250b1f470/stream.mp4
#EXTINF:-1 group-title="Развлекательные" tvg-name="TV_Sale" tvg-logo="",TV Sale
http://127.0.0.1:8000/pid/55a2a753222a82f5e170b955b35f46d857888c1c/stream.mp4

Because it's illformed. The timelength information(in this case, unknown(-1)) should be followed by a comma(,) like:

#EXTINF:-1, group-title="Региональные" tvg-name="TV_Bakhoristan" tvg-logo="",TV Bakhoristan

[ValdikSS]

I'm afraid it's not malformed. There shouldn't be comma.

This format introduced by Borpas in his IPTV Player long ago before this draft.

1. Specification is not about who did first. It's not a patent.
2. It is denoted as extended format in Borpas, too, unless the translator was wrong:

It is recommended to use the extended format of the channel list with the settings

Anyway, it's implemented because this can be done without breaking standard parser :)
Also, I found that the name in playlist wasn't displayed at all including other standard m3u, so I fixed it too.
