I can use best judgement on most, but certain nodes like "contentId", "resultLength", "endIndex", etc don't make much sense to me. I was thinking there might be somewhere that I can find a detail of each node?
The videoplayer example in the SDK uses a custom XML schema that is not formally documented anywhere. The best way to figure out how it works is to explore the code in categoryFeed.brs and showFeed.brs.
More importantly, you are not required to use that schema in your own channels. BrightScript can parse data from any XML schema you like. What's important is how that data is mapped to your content-meta-data structures. The content-meta-data structure is documented in section 3.3 of the Component Reference.
