HLS Local Network Stream - View on Roku?

I'm trying to figure out how I can view an HLS stream from an encoder on my local network of a security camera feed on the roku.  Any suggestions?

    Does your Roku device have a USB port?  You might be able to use Autostart.m3u in the root of the USB device combined with the Roku Media Player, but I've never tried it.

    It would be a trivial app to create, but I don't know of anything already in the Channel Store that will let you enter an HLS playlist URL, although I wouldn't be surprised if there is one.

I have the ability to do rtmp or anything in h.264 or h.265 format.  It really feels like there should be a simple way to make this happen
