Brightscript "Compilation Failed"

Hello, I'm trying to modify a section of code to add an If statement if title = example but getting that error when trying to side load to my Roku;

        If inExtinf
            maPath = rePath.Match (line)
            If maPath.Count () = 2
                path = maPath [1]
                m3u8List.Push ({
                    Title: title,
                    Length: length,
                    HDPosterUrl: "pkg:/images/HD/" + title + ".jpg",
                    SDPosterUrl: "pkg:/images/SD/" + title + ".jpg",
		If Title = "Example"
                    ShortDescriptionLine1: "Example 1",
                    ShortDescriptionLine2: "Example 2",
		Endif	
                    Stream: {Url: path + streamid}
                    bitrate: 0
                    StreamFormat: "hls"
                    SwitchingStrategy: "full-adaptation"
                })
                inExtinf = False
            Endif
        Endif


it just reads a M3U file and the "HDPosterUrl: "pkg:/images/HD/" + title + ".jpg"," part works and grabs the correct image depending on the title that is fed through but now I'm trying to add a few If statements to display a different "ShortDescriptionLine1" depending on the title but not working. Probably have the syntax wrong 😞

I wish there was a program you could run the script through to check for errors before zipping and installing on the Roku.

    You can't insert the code 
    If Title = "Example"

    in the middle of the associative array literal value definition that is being passed to m3u8List.Push.

    Perhaps you could phrase it as:

            If inExtinf
                maPath = rePath.Match (line)
                If maPath.Count () = 2
                    path = maPath [1]
                    aa = {
                        Title: title,
                        Length: length,
                        HDPosterUrl: "pkg:/images/HD/" + title + ".jpg",
                        SDPosterUrl: "pkg:/images/SD/" + title + ".jpg",
                        Stream: {Url: path + streamid}
                        bitrate: 0
                        StreamFormat: "hls"
                        SwitchingStrategy: "full-adaptation"
                    }
                    If title = "Example"
                        aa.ShortDescriptionLine1 = "Example 1"
                        aa.ShortDescriptionLine2 = "Example 2"
                    Endif
                    m3u8List.Push (aa)
                    inExtinf = False
                Endif
            Endif

    Okay, thank you for getting back to me.

    So I can just do this if i want to include more outcomes ?;

                    If title = "Example"
                        aa.ShortDescriptionLine1 = "Example 1"
                        aa.ShortDescriptionLine2 = "Example 2"
                    Endif
                    If title = "ExampleOne"
                        aa.ShortDescriptionLine1 = "Example One"
                        aa.ShortDescriptionLine2 = "Example One2"
                    Endif
                    If title = "ExampleTwo"
                        aa.ShortDescriptionLine1 = "Example Two"
                        aa.ShortDescriptionLine2 = "Example Two2"
                    Endif
                    m3u8List.Push (aa)

    Yep.

    (You could use If/Else If/Else clauses if you wanted).
