URL with m3u8 not Playing

MOC version: 
2.6 alpha3

i triple checked the link:
http://hlsliveamdgl0-lh.akamaihd.net/i/rnerne3_1@793568/index_128_a-p.m3u8?sd=10&rebase=on
which plays fine on other players and browsers.
Has it something to do that mocp is unable to parse m3u8 files?
I think this is a bug.

Generally it is a known issue. If I remember correctly the problem is that MOC doesn't support links to M3U files. Saving the file and opening it in MOC (or even better opening the stream directly) directly usually works - although in this case I couldn't get it to work right away).
