Need to Modify SDK Videoplayer to Allow Display of Image

Joel:
As always, thank you for replying and for your help.

I believe I did what you recommended, but I'm still not able to open the image to full screen. When I press "Play," the screen goes black and the "retrieving" bar starts to load for about a half second. Then it quits and returns back to where I just was.

Here is the section of code from the apsDetailScreen.brs which I believe I modified exactly as you suggested. I'm pasting the entire section just for reference:

PORTION OF apsDetailScreen.brs CODE:

'***************************************************************
'** The show detail screen (springboard) is where the user sees
'** the details for a show and is allowed to select a show to
'** begin playback.  This is the main event loop for that screen
'** and where we spend our time waiting until the user presses a
'** button and then we decide how best to handle the event.
'***************************************************************
Function showDetailScreen(screen As Object, showList As Object, showIndex as Integer) As Integer

    if validateParam(screen, "roSpringboardScreen", "showDetailScreen") = false return -1
    if validateParam(showList, "roArray", "showDetailScreen") = false return -1

    refreshShowDetail(screen, showList, showIndex)

    'remote key id's for left/right navigation
    remoteKeyLeft  = 4
    remoteKeyRight = 5
 
    while true
        msg = wait(0, screen.GetMessagePort())

        if type(msg) = "roSpringboardScreenEvent" then
            if msg.isScreenClosed()
                print "Screen closed"
                exit while
            else if msg.isRemoteKeyPressed() 
                print "Remote key pressed"
                if msg.GetIndex() = remoteKeyLeft then
                        showIndex = getPrevShow(showList, showIndex)
                        if showIndex <> -1
                            refreshShowDetail(screen, showList, showIndex)
                        end if
                else if msg.GetIndex() = remoteKeyRight
                    showIndex = getNextShow(showList, showIndex)
                        if showIndex <> -1
                           refreshShowDetail(screen, showList, showIndex)
                        end if
                endif
            else if msg.isButtonPressed() 
                print "ButtonPressed"
                print "ButtonPressed"
                if msg.GetIndex() = 1
                    PlayStart = RegRead(showList[showIndex].ContentId)
                    if PlayStart <> invalid then
                        showList[showIndex].PlayStart = PlayStart.ToInt()
                    endif
                    showVideoScreen(showList[showIndex])
                    refreshShowDetail(screen,showList,showIndex)
                endif
                if msg.GetIndex() = 2
                    showList[showIndex].PlayStart = 0
					if Showlist[ShowIndex].streamformat=".gif" or Showlist[Showindex].StreamFormat="image" then
                    showImage(showlist[showindex])
               else
                    showVideoScreen(showList[showIndex])
               end if
                    refreshShowDetail(screen,showList,showIndex)
                endif
                if msg.GetIndex() = 3
                endif
                print "Button pressed: "; msg.GetIndex(); " " msg.GetData()
            end if
        else
            print "Unexpected message class: "; type(msg)
        end if
    end while

    return showIndex

End Function

Now, here is the entire xml file through which I'm trying to display this remote gif. It is formatted the exact way all of the others which link to mp4 video feeds are formatted. Per your instructions, I changed the <contentType> tag to image and the <streamFormat> tag to .gif

If you can see what I'm doing wrong from what I've provided here, please let me know.

Many thanks, Joel!
