When using the mpegts container hls vidoes can be played while being downloaded (useful if you are recording a live stream).
VLC and mpv play them file, but QuickTime doesn't.
If someone is running youtube-dl on a server to deliver files, the user could input 'file:///some/important/file' and youtube-dl would save that file as a video giving access to sensitive information to the user.
'file:' urls can be filtered, but the user can use an URL to a crafted m3u8 manifest like:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0
#EXTINF:10.0
file:///etc/passwd
#EXT-X-ENDLIST
With this patch 'file:' URLs raise URLError like for unknown protocols.

[nfb] PEP 8
When using 'bestvideo/best,bestaudio', 'bestvideo/best' must be set as the current_selector (instead of appending it to the selectors), otherwise when it gets the ',' it would append 'None' to the selectors.
