Roku Developer Program

Hello guys,

Once again I am facing a problem. I am currently trying to add more internet streams to my channel but some of them are not working on the roku and I cannot figure out why.

This stream for example is working very fine on SimpleTV on the PC, but the Roku just won't play it:

http://hk.guduge.com:1163/tm3u8/live_m3u8/5039/kk.m3u8

I am using the VideoPlayer-Template from the RokuSDK and XML-Files for the streams.

Here is the code that I have come up with:

<feed>
	<item sdImg="http://XYZ.com/ABC.png" hdImg="http://XYZ.com/ABC.png">
		<title>XYZ</title>
		<ContentType>Movie</ContentType>
		<contentId>10102</contentId>
		<streamFormat>hls</streamFormat>
		<contentQuality>HD</contentQuality>
		<media>
			<streamQuality>HD</streamQuality>
			<streamUrl>http://hk.guduge.com:1163/tm3u8/live_m3u8/5039/kk.m3u8</streamUrl>
		</media>
	</item>
</feed>

Now how can I improve this code and make it actually work? 😄

Thanks very much in advance!


Ah one more thing:
Is it possible to stream links of this kind: http://84.255.204.196:1234/udp/239.11.2.2:5000 ??
I don't know right now if that stream in particular is working or not. I just need to know, if there is anyway if that sort of stream is supported by the Roku - and if yes, how is it done 🙂

Sorry that I have so many questions, but I am just getting into the topic of streams in general and roku channel developing.

Hi,
tried your source with my ipad, doesn't works. I believe that the problem is on origin encoder..
if is not wrong the last code must finish with playlist.m3u8 and not kk

That m3u8 file isn't in the correct format for HLS. It doesn't have any of the required #EXTxxx tags (or any tags, for that matter). It most likely plays fine on your PC, because it's being treated as a standard m3u playlist instead of an HLS m3u8 playlist. Take a look at the official HLS spec for more details: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos ... reaming-10
