I had done some tests with Roku and get same results as mentioned by Peppert.
About HLS standard Can we force client to always look for the highest bit rate defined in the manifest file? instead of looking for the lowest bit rate in the manifest file?
Suppose we have following bitrates in the manifest file 1mbps ,750kbps,500kbps,250kbps, is there a possibility whatever client requests we can force it to highest bitrate? or its mandatory to be at lowerst
