Description
Describe your suggested feature
When an M3U playlist is manually constructed in code, it currently has to be served through a local proxy in order to be used with newExtractorLink.
I would like to request support for passing a manually constructed M3U playlist directly as a string to newExtractorLink, without relying on a local proxy.
This would allow:
- Defining video and audio streams explicitly via M3U tags
- Controlling audio/video track pairing at the playlist level
- Exposing multiple video variants (quality, codec, etc.) as parts of a single source entry

Research direction
Start by locating the newExtractorLink entry point and the current handling that requires manually constructed M3U playlists to use a local proxy. Trace how M3U video and audio streams are represented, then verify that a raw playlist string can expose paired tracks and multiple variants without the proxy.
