I"m having a problem trying to play a api feed from a wowza server using the example "videoplayer" from SDK. I can play mp4 and ISM content with no problem, but wondering does wowza when using hls need a different player than the "videoplayer from the SDK?

Also, I'm not sure where the "<videoprofile>" code that is below this code is supposed to go, in the my XML feed array? Does this code look wrong? Thanks

Well, the elements under <stream> don't look anything like the ones in the videoplayer sample. You need at least streamUrl to specify the URL. Why do you have connection_url, video_file, video_link, etc? Also, you don't need the video_profiles element in there, and even if you did, it's not properly terminated. You can run your XML through an XML validator if you're having trouble with it.

The was an example that was sent to me by our hosting, and I tried a lot of ways but couldn't get it to work. I'm trying to connect to a play list of 300 movies and documentaries without having to add each clip manually by hand through an API.
Thanks for the tip on the XML validator.

I got the movie the play, after fixing the code. Thanks

Now I was wondering how do I bring in all the 300 videos from the wowza server, using their API system? I really don't want to add each movies stream url by hand. I was just hoping to connect to all of their clips and metadata, stuff like DVD cover and synopsis but I'm not sure if that is something that they give to me, or do I need to do something in roku to connect to their API feeds, to have show up on my channel?

Thanks
