I don't know what happend but it worked a minute ago...
I validated the xml but I still keep getting "can't parse feed" message in the telnet and my screen won't load...all the others work fine though.
Here's the linke to the xml "http//www.map2life.com/roku/xml/Lessons.xml"
I used the videoplayer example and made changes to adapt to my needs..
Anyway here's the code..any input would be greatly appreciated cause I'm getting pretty frustrated with it.
