Description
Expected behavior of the wanted feature
Greek Channel Mega TV uses websocket (wss) for its live streaming, AV1 video/AAC audio
https://www.megatv.com/live/
It would be helpful if mpv could play directly the wss URL from the player e.g.
wss://ume3-edge-01.cdn.vindral.com/subscribe?channelId=alteregomedia_megatv1_ci_6cc490c7-e5c6-486b-acf0-9bb9c20fa670&sessionId=ece2f6d2-b264-48c6-a3fe-2a0f3265b8df&clientId=36e4a9f8-8f57-40c0-92f4-0eadc9caaed2&audio.bitRate=128000&audio.codec=aac&video.width=1280&video.height=720&video.bitRate=2200000&video.codec=av1&burstMs=2000
like it does for segmented mpd and m3u streams. Python code to save the video to file was provided here by larley

Research direction
Start with the provided wss:// Mega TV URL and the linked Python example to understand the streaming protocol and compare it with mpv's existing segmented MPD and M3U playback. Done means mpv can open the WSS URL directly and play its AV1 video and AAC audio stream.
