I want to play Giniko with VLC without Streamlink, and setting user agent for VLC is a problem.

Based on the network traffic, vlc (without streamlink) is successfully reading the ginko url - even though vlc itself reports error. Also, vlc is using standard mozilla user agent.
It does not appear that it is a user agent problem with vlc. Rather, vlc is having trouble parsing this sort of live hls playlist. This sort of problem is the primary reason livestreamer/streamlink was written in the first place.
What is the disadvantage of using the streamlink/vlc combination?
