Anyone know what this means? It's not in the documenation.

This is for roVideoScreenEvent

I assume this is after isRequestFailed()? -5 is a media error; most likely the stream format is not supported. I have updated the documentation.

--Mark

Ok, thanks.

I am having difficulty with playback. It's going through the motions but fails at some point:

while true
        msg = wait(0, m.screen.GetMessagePort())
        print "Message = "; msg.GetMessage()
        if msg.isRequestFailed() then
            print "play failed: "; msg.GetInfo()
        end if
end while

Output:

Message = Stream started.
Message = License acquisition status
Message = The requested operation is not implemented.
Message =
play failed: MediaFormat: <Component: roAssociativeArray>

Thanks again.

You'll also get a -5 if the stream URL returns a 404. I'd suggest adding an roSystemLog and listening for http.connect and http.error to see if that sheds more light on the issue.

Thanks, the systemLog helped loads!
