Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

First of all I would like to stress how much I appreciate the time and effort that the contributors have put in this project, and one of my goals to the future is to learn python and try to return to the community that I only have taken so much!

In the latest release (2019.01.10) was fixed the support to [NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC] by adding it to the [FOX] extractor. It downloads flawlessly, just as expected. But somehow the HLS Native is not properly removing the ads, and therefore merging the ads along with the shows. it's not a punctual problem in the sense of it not letting an ad here and there, but downloading all the ads as if there weren't any counter measure. Although there weren't any discrepancies I could notice between the .m3u8 manifest and the HLS code.

I can provide login credentials if needed.
