I have multiple ts segments of 4 seconds each and want to play them one after another e.g. testseg0.ts, testseg1.ts, testseg2.ts etc on Roku. I tried roVideoPlayer, and used set content list. However, this had breaks after every segment. I need the segments to play sequentially and seamlessly. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I'm imagining you would have to do that on the server side, but I have no idea how you would approach it.

ts segments should be delivered through a m3u8 playlist?  They are not valid standalone video types.

Thank you for the tips. Wondering if it is possible to create an m3u8 file using brightscript on Roku as a hack. Unfortunately, we don't have m3u8 support on the server side. And, it would be a big development task. Any work around would be helpful.

unreal. 
In theory you could create an m3u by hand and save it as a local file, then load it as the playback URL. Good luck.

Thank you. Tempted to try that. Plan A is to store a m3u8 file in tmp folder. I plan to write the segments to the file. The segments are 4 seconds each. So, hope it works for live videos as well. 

Plan B is to create an intermediate server that will receive ts files and create the m3u8 files. 

Any guidance on better plans, support on Roku for plan A, and options for intermediate server would be helpful.
