Screengraph error

Well what's on line 68???
I copied your code and guessing it's off by a few lines, and it's really crashing on this line because item is an roArray and you try to use it as an roAssociativeArray
 item.stream = {url : xmlItem.url}

                    item[xmlItem.getName()] = xmlItem.getText()  <---- on this line 'item' is an roArray
                    if xmlItem.getName() = "media:content"
                        item.stream = {url : xmlItem.url}        <----- on this line you try to use it as roAssociativeArray, goes boom

There's nothing wrong with that assignment. If xmlItem.getName() returns a String, then item is being used (correctly) as an associative array.

It could be anything. My guess is that this is the problem:

item.PlayContentWithFullRAFIntegration().url

Blackhawk. If you're serious about getting other people to do your debugging for you, then the least you could do is cut and paste the debugger output -- the WHOLE debugger output, not just a single line from it, and include the debugger listing that shows the LINE NUMBERS of your code.

Looks like you're correct belltown. Does the response from PlayContentWithFullRAFIntegration() have a url key, is it even an roAA (not according to your (Blackhawk's) earlier posts)?

Thats what it said according to PuTTY

It looks like a compile error rather than a runtime error, which is why it isn't giving more information. You should be able to look at the line number in the code that it's telling you has an error, and figure out what's wrong.

I had redid the main script to this

I keep getting Syntax Error (compile error &h02) on 1, 3, 5, 21, 22

PuTTY didnt explain the error. I think 3 or 5 has something to do with TITLE : GetApiArray.category()      

Please read again what belltown posted back on April 6:

@Blackhawk. If you're serious about getting other people to do your debugging for you, then the least you could do is cut and paste the debugger output -- the WHOLE debugger output, not just a single line from it, and include the debugger listing that shows the LINE NUMBERS of your code.

Instead, you said "I keep getting Syntax Error (compile error &h02) on 1, 3, 5, 21, 22".  That one line is not the WHOLE debugger output, is it?  No one can help you if you keep hiding the debugger output from us.

--Mark

Well, first off your line 1 of that script as you "redid" it - is missing the rem or comment apostrophe at the beginning, so this:

********** Copyright 2015 Roku Corp.  All Rights Reserved. **********

Is not executable code.  Delete the line, preface it with a "REM " or put the apostrophe back ' in front of that.  Then rezip, reinstall, and try running it again to look at the next line it doesn't like.

It actually looks like those are compile-time syntax errors that occur when trying to side-load the channel, rather than run-time debugger errors, in which case that's all the information you get. Still, posting a bunch of line numbers and a snippet of un-numbered code, and leaving the rest of us to figure out which line is which (especially when the code he posts doesn't always seem to be the actual code that was used),  seems like he's not putting a whole lot of effort into helping himself.
