roVideoPlayer does not like some m3u8 files

Question

Hi Everyone,I'm trying to resolve particular issue where roVideoPlayer for some reason does not play some .m3u8 files... Here is to examples:This file works: http://playertest.longtailvideo.com/ada ... ylist.m3u8This one does not:http://d1musuutpb8y4q.cloudfront.net/Te ... _av-p.m3u8Can it be video encoding issue? Thanks,Peter

The second is an MP4, not an .m3u8, so your StreamFormat should be set to "mp4".  If it's set to "hls" that could explain why it doesn't play.

Sorry made a mistake since I've been trying to figure it out all day... Edited my prev. post... Here are 2 files again

works

liveURL = "http://playertest.longtailvideo.com/adaptive/captions/playlist.m3u8

does not work

liveURL = "http://d1musuutpb8y4q.cloudfront.net/Test/index_678_av-p.m3u8

Than you

It looks like the second one requires some sort of authentication.  I get 403 errors when requesting the individual segments.

Ok this one plays in Safari...http://livestream-f.akamaihd.net/i/4434 ... _av-p.m3u8does not play on Roku

That one also gives me a 403.  I'm guessing you're logged in somewhere in Safari, which is allowing you to play it there.
