I've got an HLS stream that Roku won't play:
http://content.uplynk.com/ext/21885d134 ... ys=efgabcd. I've edited the displayVideo() function from the simplevideoplayer example from the SDK to log a bit more info as below:
Function displayVideo(args As Dynamic)
print "Displaying video: "
p = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
video = CreateObject("roVideoScreen")
video.setMessagePort(p)
'bitrates = [0] ' 0 = no dots, adaptive bitrate
'bitrates = [348] ' <500 Kbps = 1 dot
'bitrates = [664] ' <800 Kbps = 2 dots
'bitrates = [996] ' <1.1Mbps = 3 dots
'bitrates = [2048] ' >=1.1Mbps = 4 dots
bitrates = [0]

The Finding Dory ad that's commented out above plays just fine
When connected to the telnet port, this following is displayed when trying to play:

Can anyone think of a reason why the Roku can't determine the media format for one asset but not the other?
