Why is Roku player throwing error "reader pick stream error:bad:invalid or corrupt playlist"using

Archived

We are using the Akamai CDN HLS stream for one of our OTT apps. This app has two types (Live & VOD) stream URLs. When playing the VOD content the Roku player plays the stream smoothly but when we play Live Stream content, the Roku player throws the error “reader pick stream error:bad:invalid or corrupt playlist” When playing this stream on other players like Apple TV, VLC, Exo Player, Android TV and Web Players (JWplayer, HTML5) then steaming is working as expected.

Already, I have checked these points.

  1. Checked Api calling and endpoints
  2. Url formation for player
  3. Managed Cookies
  4. Checke HTTPtp protocol like 1.0/1.1/2.0
  5. Checked Bitrates 25000 above
  6. Matched video codec
  7. There is although difference in resolution, but the same resolution is working fine in VOD.

I am digging last 4 weeks but unfortunately I have not got any solution yet.

Any help is highly appreciated
