roVideoPlayer not showing up.

I have the following code:


Function envivo(episode As Object, codcanal as string )
port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
http = NewHttp(m.direccion + "roku_envivo.php?codcanal=" + codcanal + "&roku=" + m.idroku)
direccion = http.Http.GetToString()
	
player = CreateObject("roVideoPlayer")
player.SetMessagePort(port)
player.SetLoop(true)
player.SetPositionNotificationPeriod(1)
player.SetDestinationRect({x: 100, y: 100, w: 280, h: 210})
player.SetContentList([{Stream: { url: "http://ec2-184-72-239-149.compute-1.amazonaws.com:1935/demos/smil:bigbuckbunnyiphone.smil/playlist.m3u8" } }])
player.Play()

contador=1
while true


...but nothing is showing up...no video, no audio, no nothing....can anyone give me a hand?

    First, you aren't setting the streamFormat attribute of your content-meta-data structure. When that value is omitted, the device defaults to "mp4", but your content is HLS. Second, you generally want to embed a roVideoPlayer in a roImageCanvas and you need to punch a hole in the canvas so you can see the video underneath it...

    port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
    http = NewHttp(m.direccion + "roku_envivo.php?codcanal=" + codcanal + "&roku=" + m.idroku)
    direccion = http.Http.GetToString()
       
    canvas = CreateObject("roImageCanvas")
    canvas.SetLayer(1, { color: "#00000000", compositionMode: "source" })
    canvas.Show()

    player = CreateObject("roVideoPlayer")
    player.SetMessagePort(port)
    player.SetLoop(true)
    player.SetPositionNotificationPeriod(1)
    player.SetDestinationRect({x: 100, y: 100, w: 280, h: 210})
    player.SetContentList([{ streamFormat: "hls", Stream: { url: "http://ec2-184-72-239-149.compute-1.amazonaws.com:1935/demos/smil:bigbuckbunnyiphone.smil/playlist.m3u8" } }])
    player.Play()
