Re: Upload error

 m.poster.uri=""
 m.background.uri=""

These should be url (U R L)

You also have that below in OnContentChange()

(Notice the error message told you the line number)

Re: Upload error

I looks like you'll have to make sure there is definitely an m.Player at that point. You can test it by printing to console above it, put it a line
? "m.Player = " m.Player
and see what it says, such as "invalid" or a component or something

Re: Upload error

I probably wouldn't even stick that line in the OnVisibleChange routine.  You are setting it visible in the OnItemSelected, and you are setting visibility to false when the video state is stopped or done.  You might want to add some error conditions for streams that fail to play to tidy up the possible exits from the playback routine.  If you want it to be visible=false on init then you can set that in the init function or in the xml.

Re: Upload error

the error indicates that m.player doesn't exist yet.  Move this to your init() routine:

 m.Player = m.top.CreateChild("Player")

Re: Upload error

I just added the header
' on Button press handler

Sub onItemSelected()

print "DetailsScreen.brs - [onItemSelected]"

content = CreateObject("roSGNode", "VideoContent")

content.setFields(videoContent)



if m.Player = invalid:

m.Player = m.top.CreateChild("Player")

m.Player.observeField("state", "PlayerStateChanged")

else

m.Player = m.top.CreateChild("Player")

end if

' first button is Play

if m.top.itemSelected = 0

'start the player

m.Player.content = content

m.Player.visible = true

m.Player.control = "play"

end if

End Sub



I still get this error
Invalid value for left-side of expression. (runtime error &he4) in pkg:/components/DetailsScreen/DetailsScreen.brs(65)

065:   m.Player.content

Re: Upload error

oops! "player" is not a standard component; should be "video"
 m.Player = m.top.CreateChild("Video")
