ROKU is playing about a 1 hour delay on the live stream

ROKU is playing about a 1 hour delay on the live stream. It is the same feed but processing data at a much slower speed than the other platforms. Where is the problem either roku player or live stream? Please suggest.

Solution

  • It could be your manifest file missing the #EXT-X-ENDLIST so roku is starting at the beginning.

    Workaround is to seek to a high value, like so

    videoContent = createObject("RoSGNode", "ContentNode")
videoContent.url = "your url"
videoContent.streamformat = "hls"
videoContent.playStart = 999999
videoContent.live = true

m.player.content = videoContent

    If this doesn't work, you can try m.player.seek = 9999999 but it should'nt be needed
