Episode Description

I have made an app for a friend that plays live video from his CDN and I want to add a description to the bottom that says "If stream doesnt load, Please try again later" can this be done? Thanks

Re: Episode Description

Where do you want to add this message? If you want to add it to the video playback screen you really can't, unless you want to make the message part of the video title set by the Title content meta data value:

metaData = {
ContentType: "episode",
Title: "[Video Name] (If this doesn't play...)",
Stream: {
Url: m.appInfo.video_url
},
StreamFormat: m.appInfo.stream_format
}

videoScreen.SetContent( metaData )
