[Lorem Ipsum]

User-agent from m3u playlist doesn't work in KODI 18 Leia, works in Krypton. Also works in Leia from playlist loader, but not from PVR IPTV Simple Client.

This link for example works in browser too:http://cdn.iptv.amis.net/ts/Animal/strea...2000k.m3u8

and this way works in Krypton and previous Kodi builds, but not in Leia:
h ttp://cdn.iptv.amis.net/ts/Animal/stream_iptv_2000k.m3u8|User-Agent="AppleCoreMedia"

Any chance to fix this?

Another bug (probably related),

when a url passed to player by IPTVSimple performs redirection and sets cookies, the cookies are not passed to redirected site and to following requests (ts files)

This works fine on Krypton version.

I've created an issue for this on Github after trying various workarounds to no avail. I'm not entirely certain that iptvsimple is at fault here, but loading playlists from within Kodi itself works fine.
