Roku Developer Program

[kooljay68]

I am very new to all this and not the worlds best programmer by any means. But I am learning as best I can and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to convert the deviantArt example to use just and XML file (and with what data) instead of an RSS feed?

Any help would be great.

Thank you

Why can I not just get the example to read a file like this ???

Here is some sample code that reads teh contents of your XML. Add the XML as feed.xml to a folder called xml in the channel package and you should be good to go:

Function loadXml() as void
feed = CreateObject("roXMLElement")
feed.Parse(ReadAsciiFile("pkg:/xml/feed.xml"))
resultLength = feed.resultLength.GetText()

for each item in feed.item
print "Title: " + item.title.GetText()
print "URL: " + item.URL.GetText()
end for
End Function
