Description
In case of external video players, it's quite complicated to get a playlist with the HTTP-Streaming-URLs.
Currently one has to parse the JSON files in /home/hts/.hts/channels to generate a playlist.
A function to get a playlist via URL is very helpful (e.g. http://<TVHE>:9981/playlist/ returns a M3U8 playlist).
The playlist should only contain active channels. Inactice channels or channels which can not be received (e.g. scrambled) should not be listed.
Reduce-options by adding HTTP-GET-parameters like 'lang=de,en,fr' AND "tag=hdtv,sdtv" would also enhance the overview.

There are plans for a better JSON API, but it will be covered elsewhere.
