Transcoding HLS streams to MP3 output

I've looked at the mp3 log that you posted. Here is the sequence of byte-range requests that the Humax is sending to MinimServer:

Range: bytes=0-0
Range: bytes=0-1
Range: bytes=0-524287
Range: bytes=0-0
Range: bytes=0-1
Range: bytes=0-0
Range: bytes=0-1
Range: bytes=0-1048575
Range: bytes=1048576-

It isn't possible for MinimStreamer to handle this sequence of requests when playing a live network stream, for the following reasons:

1) "byte 0" is likely to have moved to a different point in the stream when the next request in the sequence is received

2) some of these requests require seeking / reading ahead, which isn't possible with a live stream
