I'm receiving the same error with a video I've encoded (details shown below). I have noticed that if I limit the encoder to only encode the first 20 (or so) frames, the video plays with no error. Additionally, if I reference the URL from within my browser, QuickTime can play the video flawlessly. I initially tried using the settings as outlined in the Roku Streaming Player Encoding Guide, but those settings result in the same behavior. Is there something I'm overlooking?
