Hello,
I have set up the videoplayer code example to run against my server,
and everthing was working great... I was tweaking the code and xml,
and learning the ins and outs of the whole system, including the debugger.
I started to serve up different stream formats, and when I got around to using a .wmv,
I encounterd a problem, I have not been able to get around.

I found a snag in the file:appDetailScreen.brs, function:refreshShowDetail,
where the StreamFormat is, hardcoded as "mp4".
I have tried many different ways to grab the information from an Array or Current Selection object to no avail.
I am just not "getting it".
If anyone could help me understand how to dynamically assign the streamFormat,
withint the confines of the videoplayer example, I would appreciatte it.
Thanks,
eidentity

The thing that confused me when trying to accomplish a similar thing is that the XML for the example and the parsing code in ShowFeed.brs build an array of StreamFormat's, but the content-meta-data structure only expects a single StreamFormat. My solution was just to grab the first value out of that array of StreamFormat's and use it.

show.StreamFormat = show.StreamFormats[0] 

Hope that helps.

Awesome, works great,Thanks!

I dont know if I was over thinking it, or just being stupid.

When I decided to ask for help I was trying this bad idea:
"show.StreamFormat=showList[showIndex].media[0].streamFormat.GetText()"

Thanks Again,
