HLS Adaptive Buffering Issues
Needing some help on our LIVE HLS streaming through ROKU. We are having a lot re-buffers, exits to springboard, or long initial load times. We currently are passing into the videoScreen 1 stream whi...

Thanks SCyber. That is in essence what we are doing. We tried to
Combine the SD and HD but then the SD players would hit the HD signal and start buffering. Also when we try to use ~ 4 streams and add the backup encoder streams as well the roku sits for a very long time loading. Any suggestions on number of streams (including backup streams from backup encoder) and HLS settings where it will load fast at a higher bitrate. I notice GBTV loads fast at a higher bitrate. Thanks in advance for the help!!
Please look at the encoding guide in the SDK. It has suggested bitrates for constructing an M3U8 profile. The resolution doesn't affect rebuffering, that's a function of bitrate and bandwidth. If you're seeing rebuffering with HLS is could be that your segments are too long for it to adapt at segment boundries.
