Need Help fixing Video Play - will pay or help !!!

Hello,

I cannot figure out what I am supposed to do from here and I need this finished. Will even pay for help that gets it fixed and working.

1) look at item.cost
2) look at functions at the end of code around play duration

I have the feeling I need to get the play duration here on this page but the function calls are not in the right location (?)

Thank you

Re: Need Help fixing Video Play - will pay or help !!!

One problem is that you aren't passing any variables to chargecustomer()
If you don't pass any variables to it, and aren't using the global variable - either "m", or "aa", then brightscript treats any references as local variables.


Function chargeCustomer()
sn = GetDeviceESN()
cost = item.cost 'results in item is undefined
model = item.modelId 'results in item is undefined
xfer = CreateObject("roURLTransfer")
xfer.SetURL("http://allbabestv.com/mcams/roku/chargeCustomer.php?deviceID=" + sn + "&cost=" + cost + "&model=" + model) 'cost isn't a string due to being undefined, model is also not a string due to being undefined so this fails
response = xfer.GetToString()
end Function


You also shouldn't be using the serial number of the device to determine which account to charge the purchase to.
