Okay, let's recap as I'm getting myself confused:

1.) I added the lines in red to the appDetailScreen.brs file:

if msg.GetIndex() = 1
PlayStart = RegRead(showList[showIndex].ContentId)
if PlayStart <> invalid then
showList[showIndex].PlayStart = PlayStart.ToInt()
endif
showVideoScreen(showList[showIndex])
refreshShowDetail(screen,showList,showIndex)
endif
)
refreshShowDetail(screen,showList,showIndex)
else
playaudio(showlist, showindex)
refreshShowDetail(screen,showList,showIndex)
end if
endif
if msg.GetIndex() = 3
endif
print "Button pressed: "; msg.GetIndex(); " " msg.GetData()
end if

2.) Then the following to showFeed.brs:

'fetch all values from the xml for the current show
item.hdImg = validstr(curShow@hdImg)
item.sdImg = validstr(curShow@sdImg)
item.ContentId = validstr(curShow.contentId.GetText())
item.Title = validstr(curShow.title.GetText())
item.Description = validstr(curShow.description.GetText())
item.ContentType = validstr(curShow.contentType.GetText())
item.ContentQuality = validstr(curShow.contentQuality.GetText())
item.contentformat = validstr(curShow.contentformat.GetText())
item.audiostreamurl = validstr(curShow.audiostreamurl.GetText())
item.Synopsis = validstr(curShow.synopsis.GetText())
item.Genre = validstr(curShow.genres.GetText())
item.Runtime = validstr(curShow.runtime.GetText())
item.HDBifUrl = validstr(curShow.hdBifUrl.GetText())
item.SDBifUrl = validstr(curShow.sdBifUrl.GetText())
item.StreamFormat = validstr(curShow.streamFormat.GetText())
if item.StreamFormat = "" then 'set default streamFormat to mp3 if doesn't exist in xml
item.StreamFormat = "mp3"
endif

3.) And then this to the top of appVideoScreen.brs:

.streamformat})
port=createobject("romessageport")
audio.SetMessagePort (port)
audio.play()
while true
msg=wait(0,port)
if lcase(type(msg))="roaudioplayerevent" then
if msg.isRequestSucceeded() then
return -1
else if msg.isrequestfailed() then
return -2
end if
end if
end while

end function

4.) And then added the following red lines, and edited the blue (plus my info), in my .xml file:


<item sdImg="http://www.hauntedamericaradio.com/images/somalane.jpg" hdImg="http://www.hauntedamericaradio.com/images/somalane.jpg">
<title>Ghosts of Deadwood</title>
<description></description>
<contentId>10031</contentId>
<contentType>Talk</contentType>
<contentQuality>SD</contentQuality>
<contentformat>audio</contentformat>
<streamformat>mp3</streamformat>
<media>
<streamQuality>SD</streamQuality>
<streamBitrate>1500</streamBitrate>
<audiostreamurl>http://www.hauntedamericaradio.com/audio/Episode10.mp3</audiostreamurl>
<streamUrl>http://www.hauntedamericaradio.com/audio/Episode10.mp3</streamUrl>
</media>
<synopsis>David Soma &amp; Kathleen Lane</synopsis>
<genres>Paranormal</genres>
<runtime>7217</runtime>
</item>

anyone see where I went wrong??

Shouldn't be a space between setmessageport (port) I think...

I disagree.The space works just fine there.

His problem is he's just not referencing in his code what he has in his XML, as I said earlier. He has references to audiostreamurl when he should be referencing media.audiostreamurl

EDIT:

At least in this case:

item.audiostreamurl = validstr(curShow.audiostreamurl.GetText())

Should be:

item.audiostreamurl = validstr(curShow.media.audiostreamurl.GetText())

Thanks Joel. I changed that, but no difference. The audiostreamurl parameter is still empty, which tells me it's not being picked up from the .xml file.

I'm grasping at straws here, but I noticed in the showFeed.brs file this section that sets defaults:

'***********************************************************
' Initialize a ShowFeedItem. This sets the default values
' for everything. The data in the actual feed is sometimes
' sparse, so these will be the default values unless they
' are overridden while parsing the actual game data
'***********************************************************
Function init_show_feed_item() As Object
o = CreateObject("roAssociativeArray")

o.ContentId = ""
o.Title = ""
o.ContentType = ""
o.ContentQuality = ""
o.Synopsis = ""
o.Genre = ""
o.Runtime = ""
o.StreamQualities = CreateObject("roArray", 5, true)
o.StreamBitrates = CreateObject("roArray", 5, true)
o.StreamUrls = CreateObject("roArray", 5, true)

return o
End Function

Do I need to add something here for the new parameters we added??? I can't figure out why it's not picking up the url.

Belltown...I'm just doing as I'm told (I've been married long enough to do that). 😉

Where should I make those changes you refer to?

See the edit to my previous post.

YAY!

You da man Belltown...it plays!

Now I have a new problem, it won't stop playing! Even if I back out of that leaf to the parent category, it keeps playing unless I go all the way back to the home screen.

Interesting, thanks, I didn't know the syntax was that flexible.

I'm still locked up. Once I pick and song and it starts playing....it keeps playing when I leave the page and it won't let me pick anything else. Debugger says:

------------
ButtonPressed
ButtonPressed
Note: GC - Found 61 orphaned objects (objects in a circular ref loop).

Is this the problem?

[RokuJoel]

When you leave the page, which I assume is your springboard, for some reason, the page is not completely closing, so somewhere you need something like:

screen.close()
return -1
