New SDK Example not working with my Feed

[tgriffin19]

Hello, I have a private channel that was developed with an old sdk example application and it works fine with my feed. I downloaded new sdk and it will load my categories and subcategories but will not play my videos... any ideas? Here is a sample video category.

<feed>
<resultLength>3</resultLength><endIndex>3</endIndex>

Could be the start <> like there is no <genres> but you have <genres/> only, plus a few others without opening brackets. Tried VLC and I could not play either.

Could be the start <> like there is no <genres> but you have <genres/> only, plus a few others without opening brackets.

<genres /> is perfectly valid XML, and is parsed properly by the Roku XML parser, so I doubt that's the issue.

[RokuJoel]

Which example?

[tgriffin19]

The video player example.

[RokuChris]

I think the problem may be that your <streamFormat> element is subordinate to your <media> element. If you look at showFeed.brs, the paring logic expects the streamFormat element to be subordinate to the <item> element.

XML is easier to read if you format it like this

Code: Select all

That being said, I don't see any problems with your xml - like you said it is parsing and displaying your feed just fine, but it won't play the videos, so I'd guess it could be something different elsewhere. Or what RokuChris said, lol...

[mkenya]

Did you get it to work. I can't gt mine to play either.
