Maybe I should rephrase: Why aren't contentID and mediaType included in "query/media-player"??? This would seem like a logical place to put them.

<player state="play" error="false">
        <plugin id="151908" name="The Roku Channel" bandwidth="3271973 bps" />
        <format audio="aac_adts" video="mpeg4_10b" captions="608_708" drm="none" container="hls" />
        <buffering target="0" max="1000" current="1000" />
        <new_stream speed="128000 bps" />
        <position>187835 ms</position>
        <duration>220000 ms</duration>
        <is_live blocked="false">true</is_live>
        <stream_segment media_sequence="228854" time="180000" bitrate="3401200" segment_type="mux" width="0" height="0" />
</player>
