Both Roku1 and Roku2 (Primarily #2).
The documentation on encoding was stating 10s segments. So you are saying we should do 3-5 second segments and have 8 segments per index? Also since we are using Akamai does it matter how many segments per subdir?
Is there updated documentation with this info or is this information on another document (Currently looking at "Streaming Player Encoding Guide" v4.1). On this document it is stating 10 second segments on pg11-12.
Also if we have 2 adaptive streams (1 for SD and 1 for HD) like below:
using: streamFormat="hls" switchingStrategy="full-adaptation"
<stream streamQuality="SD" streamBitrate="0" streamUrl="http://*****-i.akamaihd.net/hls/live/*****/****_SD/master.m3u8"/>
<stream streamQuality="HD" streamBitrate="0" streamUrl="http://*******-i.akamaihd.net/hls/live/*****/*****_HD/master.m3u8"/>
Why does a HD television always choose the SD? We have multiple bitrates in each. Is there a better way to give the ROKU player this information?
Thanks in advance!
