If you have an HLS standard compliant stream that doesn't play, we'd be interested in looking at it. Of course, if you are asking about playing a non-standard HLS stream we aren't so interested in that.

I don't know I asked on the vlc irc channel and the answer I got was "Well, noone will answer because 'standard compliant' does not mean anything"
is there a test I can perform to see?
I assuming it is, because generally vlc is very standards conscious, but I like I said I don't know for sure.

Well I can say that technically VLC works just fine with the Roku with the right parameters. We just found that for a 24/7 stream that must be up all the time, that it just wasn't stable enough.

do you still have any notes on vlc and roku? I would like to see them. or can you look at my command line and see if there are any differences?
