Current mythmusic functionality in mythweb is very nice, thanks Colin, 
jochen, xris and others!

What is the situation with loading m3u playlists and streaming music 
through mythweb? Should this be working?

I briefly tested the functionality and noticed that m3u playlists 
contain http-links to mythweb/mythmusic but without http-protocol and 
host part.. so these kind of URLs cannot work, right?

I then manually edited URLs in m3u playlist and added the missing parts. 
After asking http basic auth credentials, WinAmp showed HTTP 200 result, 
but didn't play the songs.

Then, I manually browsed to one of the streaming URLs. Firefox started 
to download something, and actually downloaded hundreds of megabytes of 
stuff. Much more than one single MP3 :)

Previous tests were made in internal network, with plain HTTP. If I come 
from the Internet with HTTPS, all the other mythmusic functionalities 
seem to work but the Playlist -> Play action doesn't do anything. 
Firefox changes the URL to red and that might mean that part of the 
page/javascript or something tried to load something using only HTTP 
(when it should have used HTTPS).

Am I trying something that is not even supposed to work yet..?
