Roku requesting wrong URL from HLS variant playlist
I have an m3u8 with the following format:
The expected behavior is that any of the bitrate streams can be requested at
Here's a couple of (slightly modified, ip, hostname) log entries from our lighttpd access.log.
Requesting any of the individual bitrate m3u8 URLs plays that particular bit rate fine.
Could someone verify the behavior, and suggest a solution/work around?

The expected behavior is that any of the bitrate streams can be requested at
