On demand menu

I was setting up a demand menu
Function CreateBonanzaMenu() as integer

screen = CreateObject("roPosterScreen")

screen.SetContentList(GetBonanzaEpisodes())

screen.SetFocusedListItem(4)

screen.show()



while (true)

msg = wait(0, port)

if type(msg) = "roPosterScreenEvent"

if (msg.isScreenClosed())

return -1

else if (msg.isListItemSelected())

ShowBonanzaEpisodeDetails( msg.GetIndex() )

Re: On demand menu

I'm sure someone would like to help, but I doubt anyone is going to count down 132 lines to start figuring it out.  Maybe Add some line #'s.

Re: On demand menu

See the question marks? You kind of have to say something there
...
else if ' ???????????????????? '
videoContent = {
streamFormat: "mp4"
stream: {
url: "https://archive.org/download/Bonanza-BloodOnTheLand/Bonanza_-_Blood_On_The_Land_S01-E22_512kb.mp4"
}
}
else if ' ???????????????????? '
videoContent = {
streamFormat: "mp4"
stream: {
url: "https://archive.org/download/Bonanza-DarkStar/Bonanza_-_Dark_Star_S01-E31_512kb.mp4"
}


Side note: more than one syntax error? Ha, curious - seems the compiler bothers doing some parsing error recovery! I wouldn't've bothered

Re: On demand menu

I had changed the code to this

Function PlayVideo(index as integer) as void

videoContent = {

streamFormat: "mp4"

stream: {

if (index = 0)

url: "https://archive.org/download/Bonanza-BitterWater/Bonanza_Bitter_Water_S01-E29_512kb.mp4"

else if (index = 1)

url: "https://archive.org/download/Bonanza-BloodOnTheLand/Bonanza_-_Blood_On_The_Land_S01-E22_512kb.mp4"

else if (index = 2)

url: "https://archive.org/download/Bonanza-DarkStar/Bonanza_-_Dark_Star_S01-E31_512kb.mp4"

else if (index = 3)

url: "https://archive.org/download/Bonanza-DeathAtDawn/Bonanza_-_Death_At_Dawn_S01-E32_512kb.mp4"

end if

}

}

PlayContentWithFullRAFIntegration(videoContent)



End Function


Yet theres error (125, 127, 129, 131) how can I fix this

Re: On demand menu

I don't believe that's valid syntax, as far as I know, you can't do conditional field assignment like you're trying to.

Create the url variable outside of the definition, and then assign it when it's "ready"

Function PlayVideo(index as integer) as void

theUrl = invalid
 if (index = 0) then
 theUrl = "https://archive.org/download/Bonanza-BitterWater/Bonanza_Bitter_Water_S01-E29_512kb.mp4"
 else if (index = 1) then
 theUrl = "https://archive.org/download/Bonanza-BloodOnTheLand/Bonanza_-_Blood_On_The_Land_S01-E22_512kb.mp4"
 else if (index = 2) then
 theUrl = "https://archive.org/download/Bonanza-DarkStar/Bonanza_-_Dark_Star_S01-E31_512kb.mp4"
 else if (index = 3) then
 theUrl = "https://archive.org/download/Bonanza-DeathAtDawn/Bonanza_-_Death_At_Dawn_S01-E32_512kb.mp4"
else
print "Invalid index"
 theUrl = invalid
end if
if (theUrl <> invalid) then
 videoContent = {
   streamFormat: "mp4"
   stream: {
     url: theUrl
   }
 }
 PlayContentWithFullRAFIntegration(videoContent)
else
 ' Some error-handling code?
end if
End Function

Re: On demand menu

Also, there needs to be a comma after "mp4", 

streamFormat: "mp4",
