Re: The loading screen keeps freezing

setcontent is not a global function you can use like that.  I assume you're trying to do something like what's shown here:

player = CreateObject( "roVideoScreen" ) 
player.setMessagePort( port )
player.setContent( content )

Re: The loading screen keeps freezing

I tried setting it up like this
Function showVideoScreen(episode As Object)
 
if type(episode) <> "roAssociativeArray" then
print "invalid data passed to showVideoScreen"
return -1
endif
 
port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
player = CreateObject( "roVideoScreen" )
player.setMessagePort( port )
player.setContent(episode)
player.Prebuffer()
 
 
 

player.SetPositionNotificationPeriod(30)
 

 
player.Show()
 

 

PlayContentWithFullRAFIntegration(episode)
 
 
 
 
'Uncomment his line to dump the contents of the episode to be played
'PrintAA(episode)
 
while true
msg = wait(0, port)
 
if type(msg) = "roVideoScreenEvent" then
print "showHomeScreen | msg = "; msg.getMessage() " | index = "; msg.GetIndex()
if msg.isScreenClosed()
print "Screen closed"
exit while
elseif msg.isRequestFailed()
print "Video request failure: "; msg.GetIndex(); " " msg.GetData()
elseif msg.isStatusMessage()
print "Video status: "; msg.GetIndex(); " " msg.GetData()
elseif msg.isButtonPressed()
print "Button pressed: "; msg.GetIndex(); " " msg.GetData()
elseif msg.isPlaybackPosition() then
nowpos = msg.GetIndex()
RegWrite(episode.ContentId, nowpos.toStr())
else
print "Unexpected event type: "; msg.GetType()
end if
else
print "Unexpected message class: "; type(msg)
end if
end while
 
End Function



Yet i get the same error

If you got the same error then you did not remove the bogus line "videoScreen = SetContent(episode)"
