From the docs:
I understand that StreamURLs/StreamBitrates/etc. all need to be aligned, but does it matter if StreamBitrates is sorted or not?

Using the StreamBitrates and StreamURLs provided in the content meta-data for the item, the roVideoScreen will automatically monitor and select the best stream based on the users measured bandwidth.

For example, the first stream listed would be the 0th element of all of these arrays.
