How to develop a channel for playing web hosted videos
Newbie question. I searched for this question, but did not find what I am looking for.
I am looking to develop a channel for playing web hosted videos. The way I am looking at having is to have a root folder under which I would have sub folders in the following way. For example:
-main folder
|----youtube
|---- pbs-videos
I down loaded the SDK. I appreciate if someone can help with the steps to go through, I appreciate it.

For UI ideas, you can experiment with the sample channels in the SDK.
Getting the actual content is going to be different for each provider. If they publish a podcast or MRSS feed, you can work with that pretty easily. There's code for parsing MRSS in the SDK samples. Otherwise you'll need to research whether each provider has an API you can leverage and develop a piece of BrightScript to talk to that API.
