Comment (by jakob):

 Hi, I'm interested in working on this ticket.

 Replying to [comment:4 pulkomandy]:

Can't reproduce the crash. Things are not going too well however:
* We don't even parse the M3U file. Supporting that and adding the items
 to the playlist would be nice, even if we can't play them
* When run from Terminal, with the m3u file as an argumen, MediaPlayer
 shows the BAlert saying it can't play it. The main window doesn't come up,
 but the application continues running.

 Is this description of M3U support still current? I've tried to access a
 few streams and ran into an OOM each time, which I'd imagine is an issue
 in and of itself, but I'm interested in whether or not MediaPlayer can at
 least add items from the M3U to the playlist.
