m3u files not appearing on Roku 1080 MP profile
Hey everyone, I have this 2017 Roku Streaming stick and I tried to use it for m3u8s particularly for live streams. I followed previous threads regarding this with the groovy plugin and the online resource thing and I got it work. I was able to access the media server through the Roku Media Player app on my Roku.
But, my problems are these:
When I use the default Roku Media Player profile on Serviio, all of the files show up and it plays with sound but it buffers frequently exactly 10 seconds after the file is played. I assume this buffering is caused by the controlled bitrate that this profile has. I tried tinkering with the Roku MP profile on the profiles.xml through increasing the maxVBitrate but to no avail. I also tried the bandwidth secret menu on the Roku but i can't access it on my device for some reason.
I then tried the Roku 1080 Media Player (2016+) profile as I saw that the bitrate is not controlled in this which I hoped it could relieve my buffering woes. But on this profile, my .m3u8 and .m3u playlists don't show up, only the .ts streams and other video files like .mkv show up. I tried playing a .ts stream and it worked with sound and no buffering but the streams I am looking to play are the .m3u8 and .m3u which don't show up.
I also attempted to use other profiles like the Generic DLNA profile and the streams showed up and it wasn't buffering anymore. However, when I played the m3u files, there was no sound at all.
Here's an example of an m3u8 file (which is in an m3u playlist) that I used which works fine without buffering on VLC's Open Network Stream (Ctrl +N) on PC. It also plays with sound on the default Roku MP profile but it buffers a lot.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
