I'm getting the same error in my telnet session when trying to play the simplevideoplayer app. I didnt make any changes to the code and simply loaded it to the Roku2. When I play the app I get a screen like this:

Craig venter, Can we create new...
-play
-go back

I click on play and it looks like it tries to load a video then immediately jumps back to this screen.


Another question I have; is the Craig Venter screen supposed to be the first screen loaded when the app runs?

The first screen should be the one that has the 'Play' and 'Go Back' buttons that you described.

One thing that would account for the behavior you describe would be if your Roku were configured for an SD TV. The simplevideoplayer example app only has an HD stream defined for the Craig Venter podcast, which will not play on an SD-configured device. To fix this, change the lines that say: qualities = ["HD"] to qualities = ["SD"]. You may also be able to go into the Roku Settings screen and set your TV configuration to HD to test whether it plays.

Thanks for this quick reply. I'll certainly do this. Appreciate the help.
