Hello, I hope I can word my question appropriately so I get a response back, I'll try to give the information I know properly 🙂
I have a Brightscript Roku channel that parses an XML file eg:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<categories>
  <feed title="channel">
        <item sdImg="pkg:/images/SD/ch.jpg" hdImg="pkg:/images/HD/ch.jpg">
            <title>channle</title>
            <description></description>
            <streamFormat>hls</streamFormat>
           <media>
               <streamQuality>HD</streamQuality>
                <streamBitrate>0</streamBitrate>
               <streamUrl>http://myserver.com/master.m3u8</streamUrl>
            </media>
            <synopsis></synopsis>
           <genres>Cable</genres>
            <live>True</live>
         </item>
</feed>
</categories>

Can I add a roMessageDialog box in there somewhere or does the message box have to be external to the XML file parse?

Thx

The code to display a message box would go in your brightscript code, not in the xml file.

Hi Mark, okay, crap because my channel icons and links on the main page are populated by/from the XML file so I'm not sure how to add another link on my main channel screen which when clicked on will prompt for this message box 😞

I'm using belltown's Brightscript SDK file so i assume I need to put the message box in the RokuFeed.brs file somewhere?

Wait what - belltown has gone to the Dark (XML) Side now?

Hi, I'm using this one : https://github.com/belltown/Roku-NewVideoPlayer
Is this not Brightscript?

Oh sorry - my bad, thought you are using RSG. Yes, roMessageDialog goes in one of the .brs files, which one depends on the app logic/expected behavior. E.g. could be in main.brs, UI.brs, ...
