I can't tell you exactly why that stream is failing, although I'm sure it has something to do with the peculiar reuse of sequence numbers. I can tell you however that the Roku player ignores the EXT-X-ALLOW-CACHE header, so that's not related.
That's good to know (that Roku does not follow the HLS spec in the case of EXT-X-ALLOW-CACHE) - then there is no point of putzing around with it.
Will "salting" the URLs help instead to prevent caching?
I.e. adding a unique query-strings behind, so no two URLs are textually equal.
