Roku Wordpress integration question

Hello,

I have built a couple of simple Roku channels using the videoplayer sample application as a template. What I am trying to do next is build a channel that uses the RSS XML coming out of a Wordpress blog as the basis for the xml on the channel. So, the Wordpress blog would work as a CMS for the Roku channel. Each Wordpress post would contain a video file that would be the Roku content. The title of the post would be the title of the video and the Wordpress category the category of the video in the Roku channel.

However, when I compare the xml in the videoplayer to the xml coming out of the wordpress blog, they are quite different. I'm trying to first understand what my general approach should be. Should I take the xml out of the Wordpress rss feed and generate a new xml file that looks like the example in the videoplayer sample? Or is there a set of objects I should should create in the brightsign code by parsing the Wordpress rss xml and extracting the same elements - under different tag names?

I found the greenhughes example for mixter, which was helpful, but the example wasn't complete so I am trying to fill in the blanks. Any comments or pointers appreciated. Thanks
