"No valid bitrates" error with HLS playlist

When I attempt to pass an HLS playlist to the video player, it gives me the error "video.errorCode == -5 video.errorMsg == no valid bitrates"

But, if I select a single stream out of the playlist and give that to the video player, it will play.

 

Can anyone identify what Roku doesn't like in this HLS file?

The device I've been working with and having problems on is a 4630X as well.

I'm on software version 9.2.0 Build 4806
