I've upload it to my amazon s3 account, and entered the URL to the file in the .brs file, saved it and re-created my zip file.. deleted the installation i had, and uploaded a new installation...
The channel comes up with all the default images (as expected)... i press play and nothing happens...
in the script i see :
Code: Select all
itemVenter = { ContentType:"episode"
SDPosterUrl:"file://pkg:/images/CraigVenter-2008.jpg"
HDPosterUrl:"file://pkg:/images/CraigVenter-2008.jpg"
IsHD:False
HDBranded:False

Title:"Craig Venter asks, Can we create new life out of our digital universe?"
}
All of which can stay the same, except maybe length... what exactly is the length parameter? I know it's the length, but in what format? Say my video is 15 minutes and 6 seconds long...
For encoding, i've used handbrake, sony vegas pro 10.0 and adobe premier pro CS5.5 in both mp4 formats and wmv formats to no avail.
Once I figure out how to get my one video to play these are the questions i had on my first attempt...
I'm trying to build a channel that's say similar to netflix or crackle (not the same type of content, just the style)... i understand the overhangs and stuff like that... but i'm looking to figure out the following...
#1. why my channel icon won't show... i'm guessing that has to do with the manifest file....
#2. do i need that makeFile thing in my projects? because in all examples i see the makefile (im running on a windows box not a *nix box so i imagine no I don't but figure better make sure)...
#3. how to have multiple videos.. all the examples i've seen are single videos.. initially we'll start off with 1 or 2 videos and i'll have to add a video probably every week. so i think having the 'scroller' thing when you enter the channel would be a good thing to have but i can't figure out how to do any of this stuff....
Any help appreciated..
