# playlists that describe available qualities. On the other hand media
# playlists [2] should be returned as is since they contain just the media
# without qualities renditions.
# Fortunately, master playlist can be easily distinguished from media
# playlist based on particular tags availability. As of [1, 2] master
# playlist tags MUST NOT appear in a media playist and vice versa.
# As of [3] #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION tag is REQUIRED for every media playlist
# and MUST NOT appear in master playlist thus we can clearly detect media
# playlist with this criterion.
