a custom video player has to be defined

Looks good. |

I don't understand what you said. |

gPodder enables the Stream menu item only if the user has selected a player (vlc, ...). Before 8503fef the Stream menu item was disabled for video episodes (youtube live video) even if I selected VLC as video player because I kept the default audio player. Now gPodder looks at the video player for video episodes and the audio player for other kinds. |

Ah, I had a non-default audio player and the stream option does dim when changed to default. LGTM. |

Let's merge, then! |
Streaming was always possible (gpodder#867) for all audio and video episodes if an audio player was configured. Now it is only possible if a player is configured for the episode's type. Methods have been added to PodcastEpisode that are either now used by actions or replicate the conditions used by actions to filter selections. This will help prevent mismatched conditions between play_or_download() and episode actions. And play_or_download() is easier to reason about and should prevent future bugs such as gpodder#1250. Fixes gpodder#1250.
Allows live streams to be streamed (but not downloaded) while live. The video player must support HLS m3u8 URLs (ffplay does). It adds a new
Videosetting to select HLS formats, and supports custom formats inEdit config.
