How far behind live was the Roku playing after an hour? I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're describing -- if it started playing at live and then sometime later was behind live, did it pause or glitch somewhere during that time? I'm not sure how it could have dropped behind live without some interruption in playback. Is it possible there was a rebuffer which simply dropped it back a few seconds? Can you manually seek forward to the live point after it gets into this state?
Also note that no HLS player can play literally at the live point; this is disallowed by the HLS spec and would be a bad idea even if it weren't disallowed. The spec says playback should start no closer than 3 target durations to the live point.
