I'm assuming (72) refers to the line number? if so, here it is:

if msg.GetIndex() = 2
if showlist[showindex].contentformat <> "audio" then
showList[showIndex].PlayStart = 0
showVideoScreen(showList[showIndex])
refreshShowDetail(screen,showList,showIndex)
else
playaudio(showlist[showindex))
refreshShowDetail(screen,showList,showIndex)
end if
endif

typo:

playaudio(showlist[showindex))

should be

playaudio(showlist[showindex])

square bracket instead of curved

Well sir..we're getting closer!

It nivigates through the screens now, but when you actually go to play either an MP3 audio or an MP4 video, neither plays...it just kinda sits there.

The debugger shows:

playstart &h0000 <uninitialized> val:Uninitialized
BrightScript Debugger> ☺Note: GC - Found 66 orphaned objects (objects in a circu
lar ref loop).

Now I'm getting "wrong number of function parameters. <runtime error &hf1> in ...g:source/appDetailScreen.brs<72>

072: playaudio<showlist[showindex]>

Backtrace:
Function showdetailscreen<screen As <uninitialized>, showlist As <uninitilaized>, showindex As Integer> As Integer

Pretty much each function says <uninitialized>.....

It also appears it's not picking up the "audiostreamurl" as that listing is blank.

Here's my .xml...look right?

Video is working by the way....just the audio that won't play now. Maybe I put the AudioPlayer in the wrong place? I placed it in the appVideoScreen.brs file.

I get the same thing. And I have the <contentType>audio</contentType> in the xml.

[ncognito66]

I think I have all my .xml files they way I need them, and the videos are playing. If I could just figure how where the audio player code belongs, and how come I'm getting an "unable to parse" error on the audio .xml files I think I'd be set.

[bandal]

Your right where do we insert into videoplayer the audio code function. My xml is ok, just where do we insert the function to make it work?

[RokuJoel]

if they are not parsing, they are not valid xml, you can check your xml here:

http://www.w3schools.com/dom/dom_validate.asp

Remember, ampersands need to be replaced with &amp;

Post an example if you can of your xml that isn't working.

Joel:

We have two separate problems here. First, the "audiostreamurl" is apparently not being picked up as it reads empty:

Second is the parsing error. Here's is the example xml file that I've modified, adding the <contentformat> and <audiostreamurl> as you suggested above.

I'm also not surewhere I'm supposed to drop in the audioplayer code you mentioned earlier. Thanks again for your help.
