Is it possible to combine the audio app and the video player example ?

what I mean is to have a category of audio and then one of Videos?

I have tried combing the two together but with no success that is why i am asking to be sure what i am trying to do is not in vain

i have audio and video podcasts i want to add .

If you're asking is it possible to have one app play both videos and audios, then yes that's pretty easy. If you're asking can you play audio from one source simultaneously with video from another source, then no I do not believe that is possible.

Thanks Jim,

I would like to have two set of category trees.

One would be video shows and one would be audio shows.

I could maybe help you out with some of your saving scores to a DB ideas if you think you can help me out with this 😉

drop me a line and let me know if your interested, either way i need help . LOL

I could help, but it really is pretty trivial. It looks like you have all the pieces already. All you need to do is instead of calling showVideoScreen(), set all the parts of a "song" roAssociativeArray, set up an roAudioPlayer setting the content to the "song", and then call Play() to start the audio. You might want to have a different details screen for audio vs. video with a Play/Pause button instead of Resume/Play from beginning.

Is there any specific part that you don't understand?

yes actually a few things, plus i haven't had time as i been populating my war channel, and waiting on content from the hunting and fishing shows.

But one thing that comes to mind is feeding the mp3 example with a category feed like the video player.

I will try and mess with it mid week and see how it works. if i run into issues i will Pm you hows that?

and if you need some help with the DB work let me know, and you could check these guys out for some free hosting till you get going http://xtreemhost.com/plans/

its plenty to run a stats page. and wouldn't be hard to pass that back to your channel either.
