When program_date_time flag is present, in m3u8 playlist file each
segment has a corresponding EXT-X-PROGRAM-DATE-TIME value. The intial
program-date-time value is the actual current time at init and
each new segment increments this value by its duration. When append_list
flags is also present, existing playlist parsing by hls_append_segment
treats existing segments as new segments regarding the program-date-time
calculation. But it should not do that, because this way all real the
new segments' EXT-X-PROGRAM-DATE-TIME values will be shifted erroneously
by the sum duration of existing segments. Instead it should have
decremented the initial program-date-time value by its duration. This
would ensure that
the first new segment's program-date-time value had the current time as
it is expected.
This patch corrects this behaviour and prevent existing segments to
increment the value of initial_prog_date_time variable but decrements
it.
