Love the new channel templates that Roku posted to GitHub!
Having an issue with <streamURL> in the xml file.
New template wants a hard coded file, like so:

<streamUrl>http://video.ted.com/talks/podcast/JimFallon_2009_480.mp4</streamUrl>

My old Roku channel, my apps and my website all take a URL that is an m3u like so:

http://IPADDRESS:1935/vod/NAMEOFFILE.mp4/playlist.m3u8

Using Wowza Streaming Engine v4.3 so the IP + port + m3u8 is my only option.
Tried a search but couldn't anyone else with the same issue.
Any suggestions highly appreciated.

Updating to answer my own question and leaving here just in case anyone else has the same issue.

It turns out that <streamFormat>mp4</streamFormat>
needs to be <streamFormat>hls</streamFormat>

when using an m3u8 playlist or a .smil
