Auto Bitrate Option Not Showing for RSS Playlist


I am trying to migrate from JWPlayer 5 to 6 and I am having an issue getting ABR to function using my RSS feed. My feed has an m3u8 file and then some mp4 to fallback on. No matter what I do, the "Auto" option doesn't show up. I tried removing the m3u8 file and just have the mp4, but that didn't fix it. I tried removing the mp4 files and just using m3u8 and that didn't work either.

How can I resolve this?

Here is a sample of my RSS feed:

<rss version="2.0" xmlns:jwplayer="http://developer.longtailvideo.com/" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/">
<channel>
<title>My Platlist</title>
<item>
<title>Video 1</title>

Without a URl to see the player, I presume that you either
a) Don't have a Premium license in which case HLS is not supported on desktop PC's
b) Are not setting the player up as flash primary ( which is required for HLS on desktops) ---- primary: 'flash',
