Video Not Playing
Ok so I got the channel to sideload, I uploaded my xml files and content to my webserver and tried the channel out, everything looks good but the video will not play, I click resume play or play from beginning and it just flashes to the loading screen for a split second and then goes back to the title page.
I re-encoded my video with handbreak using the Roku preset and still get the same thing.
Any idea?
Thanks a bunch!

Re: Video Not Playing
You might want to try some "print" debugging on the events generated by the video component to see if it is giving you some kind of error message (telnet to your Roku's ip port 8085 to see the print output). Generally, the error messages aren't all that helpful, but sometimes they help. Also, if you want to post a link to a sample video you can't play I'm sure someone here will give it a try for you.

Re: Video Not Playing
There's nothing wrong with the video. You realize you have to parse the xml in your code to extract the StreamUrls, StreamFormat ("mp4" in this case), ContentType ("movie"), etc., right? You don't pass the xml to the video component. So your code should look something like:
videoscreen = CreateObject("roVideoScreen")
video.StreamUrls = ["http://myip/consequence.mp4"] <-- url(s) extracted from xml
video.StreamFormat = "mp4" <-- these two can be in the xml, or hard-coded
video.ContentType = "movie"
etc....
videoscreen.SetContent(video)

video.ContentType = "movie"
etc....
videoscreen.SetContent(video)
