I have looked through the Roku developer help and forums for this and not found anything that matches.
I am attempting to play HLS streams from PeerTube servers. Video is fine but there is no audio. An example stream is at https://tube.kockatoo.org/static/streaming-playlists/hls/76607e8d-96cf-4050-847d-2bdf46de37cf/152177...
This plays correctly on MacOS QuickTime Player and VLC. The QuickTime app shows the video to be H.264, 1280x720 and the audio to be AAC 44100 Hz stereo (L&R).
It does not play correctly (no audio) on the Roku Stream Tester. The Stream Tester shows video as mpeg4_10b and "none" for the audio.
If this is a problem with the HLS streams being created by the PeerTube server software I would like enough information about what is wrong that I can submit a report to that project’s developers. If it is a limitation on the HLS capabilities of Roku, is there a work around?
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks!
It seems to work fine in HLS.js player (https://hls-js.netlify.app/demo/). It may be something with the way they are generating the fragmentedmp4 outputs for an hls stream (combined video/audio) which under streaming protocols indicate the below.

Audio/video chunk format
video: TS, CMAF
audio: aac, ac3, eac3
Hi there I am attempting to import pertube content via a feed into direct publisher is this possible? Also wondering if there is a Roku channel template to follow for peertube.
Please help if you can.
