Plex STRM file support flawed

Hello I began to do some test with the strm files and at the end I came to an endpoint: the strm support is flawed.

 

The stream is the following:

tmp://live.dtv.cubecdn.net/kdmobil/ playpath=KanalD1 live=1 swfUrl=http://www.kanald.com.tr/Content/swf/Canliplayer.swf?config=/Content/swf/Config.xml&debug=false pageUrl=http://www.kanald.com.tr/CanliYayin

If I run the following commandline:

C:\Users\administrator>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Plex\Plex Media Server\PlexTranscoder.exe" -i "rtmp://live.dtv.cubecdn.net/kdmobil/ playpath=KanalD1 live=1 swfUrl=http://www.kanald.com.tr/Content/swf/Canliplayer.swf?config=/Content/swf/Config.xml&debug=false pageUrl=http://www.kanald.com.tr/CanliYayin" -async 1 -f asf -vcodec wmv2 -b 12000k -acodec wmav2 -ar 48000 -ac 2 -s 1920x1080 -re -rebuf 10 -

It will start to play the stream immediately after listing the metadata of the stream without problems.

 

If I put the stream of before directly inside a strm file and try to play it trough plex, it will just stop before giving any metadata saying: 

Invalid data found when processing input

If I insert everything in a m3u8 as the following

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=1000000
rtmp://live.dtv.cubecdn.net/kdmobil/ playpath=KanalD1 live=1 swfUrl=http://www.kanald.com.tr/Content/swf/Canliplayer.swf?config=/Content/swf/Config.xml&debug=false pageUrl=http://www.kanald.com.tr/CanliYayin

And try to play it after the -i option of the transcoder, it will give all the metadata information and then it will close saying 

Invalid data found when processing input

So what I would like to know is why the trascoder is not able to read the stream from a strm or a m3u8 correctly but if I pass the same stream url and parameters directly to the -i option the stream starts correctly?

 

Is this a bug?
