I haven't been able to find any free players that work without In-App purchases for anything other than .mov or .mp4 streaming, so I personally use 8 player (not free), which works well, in spite of the odd interface

I thought HLS was supposed to handle that, but I played around with mythbackend's internal server (<LAN IP>:6544) on the HLS page and couldn't seem to get anything to queue up. Further, it wanted me to install JWPlayer, but when I clicked "Install" Safari just tried to download a zip file and predictably failed. I see the Torc app in the app store and I presume that still works with 0.27+, but I only want to watch one recording at a time occasionally, without having to futz around copying the file over USB or whatever.
