IN CASE YOU ARE ASKING ABOUT SEND HLS OUT FROM PLYCAST...
Plycast is the client application from a client -server system. The server side is the Caspacg. Casparcg runs multiple clients applications as frontend because the human interface is only text and protocols. From this point of view you can say plycast can't do hls stream because it was designed thinking as a tool for playlist of clips and media.
If you are ok with plycast but hls OUTPUT is needed, your best option is to set the casparcg server with udp out and point to another module that receives an udp transport stream (mpeg-ts) and convert to hls mode for output.
You can search the casparcg community forum about udp output and you also can search ffmpeg doing udp to hls out on google.
Another approach can be try some alternative playout as :
https://ffplayout.github.io/
But this is a linux software and you need some linux knowledge to use it.

Hello, if your question was to PLAY or ADD a HLS Stream into Plycast Playlist, let me share you my experience.
I don´t know if this method work with HLS stream.

But in my case, I was in need of programming or schedule a playlist with our own content, but we also need to add or be able to play at our playlist, stream media live from other streaming partners.

I With the SEND COMMAND plugin was able to add it to my playlist
and with the next command play the live streaming from our streaming partner.

PLAY 1-1 [URL] "https://XXX.akamaized.net/hls/live/2015530/XXX/XXX/streamPlaylist.m3u8!"

Don´t know if you were looking for something like this hopefully hope your find or workaround what you need.

I Hope this will be helpfull for someone, sorry for my english.
