In Simple Video Player it says in file appMain.brs

    'Swap the commented values below to play different video clips...

How can I have it where I can have more than 1 videos ?

I am interested in M3u8 files/streams.

Thanks

ive never used m3u8 files so i dont know how to use them, but you can set the metadata for your videoscreen or videoplayer to m3u8 and play the file.

Now if you want several streams of the same video with different qualities that is done via the metadata of the video thats being passed to the videoscreen or videoplayer.

That video appears to be in a Flash Video container format, which is not supported by Roku.

Hi Zuber,

You can set the episode.StreamFormat = "hls" and it will play the HLS video. Similarly, you can set the episode.StreamFormat = "mp4" and you can play an mp4 video.

Here is an example of how we do it:

1. Determine whether the video is HLS or not

2. Sets the stream format

Let me know if you have any questions about it!

Where can I find this example app?
Can you please post a link to this "Simple Video Player" app?
I can't find it anywhere. Only people talking about it.
