Parse XML from web

Hello,

I was trying to parse a web hosted xml to extract the video link that should be played into a Roku application.
I seem to be stucked at extracting the hls text from here https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/ifXMLElement#ifXMLElement-Parse(xmlasString)asBoolean but still can't extract it.

I know that the xml is downloaded successfully and that the parent is indeed right.

if contentxml.getName() = "elmtv" 

returns true.

But how do I continue to extract the text for "hls" from a child below?

Can somebody please help me or at least put me on the right track?
Thanks!
