Description

My M3U8 videos will not play.

I've successfully created a JSON feed that loads content into the app, but the video is not playing. When I hit play for each item, it goes back to the splash screen then the main screen.

You can [check out the feed here](https://app.wzmq19.com/config/fire-tv.php).

I'm using the default media player from the framework. I've also defined the format as "HLS" in the JSON and mapped it in the recipe under the matchList as "format@mFormat."

Is there something I'm missing to make this work?

Research direction

Start by reproducing playback with the linked feed and inspect how the default media player handles the JSON item's HLS format. Review the recipe's matchList mapping of "format@mFormat" and the app's transition back to the splash and main screens; done means the M3U8 video plays from the feed without that navigation failure.
