New format: M3U playlist #3995

Description

@boyska

My desire is to allow rss-bridge to be integrated in radio automation software.

In fact, bridges like FeedMerge can be very useful for radio automation. I'm also maintaining some bridges of my own which allows for filtering feeds (#4015 ).

One of the most popular open source radio automation software is Azuracast. Azuracast can retrieve a playlist via a URI, but this needs to be in PLS or M3U format.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like rss-bridge to also output an M3U playlist: that's simply one URL per line, and that's the <enclosure> tag of feeds.

It should be pretty easy to implement. I can do that myself, but I'd like to know if a patch would be accepted :)

Describe alternatives you've considered

An alternative is to have a specific service which only converts feeds to M3U.

While that could certainly be done, the UX will certainly degrade, given how easy to is rss-bridge is!

Another alternative is to implement support for Mrss in azuracast. That's comparatively much, much more work!
