Problem with HLS and the sample video player app

I have done a few Roku channel based on the sample video player app in the SDK but am just now trying to get my first live stream going. Does the sample video player app work with HLS out of the box? In the debug console I am getting "Content contains no playable tracks.". Here is my XML. FYI, I have tried multiple m3u8 URLs, all produce the same error.

    Worked like a charm. Just needed to move the <streamFormat> element outside of the <media> element. Thanks a ton.
