[FFmpeg-user] "cookies" option doesn't seem to work.

See docs for http in ffmpeg-protocols.

> At the very least, each cookie must specify a value along with a path and domain.  HTTP requests that match both the domain and path will automatically include the cookie value in the HTTP Cookie header field. Multiple cookies can be delimited by a newline.

>   ffplay -cookies "nlqptid=nltid=tsn; path=/; domain=somedomain.com;” http://somedomain.com/somestream.m3u8
