differences between simplevideoplayer and player

We are slowly testing and have no trouble loading and viewing http://www.emr4doctors.com/Inbox/WhatDi ... ichael.wmv
with simplevideoplayer but it wont play in the videoplayer example code we even tried mp4 files 'n mp3 files. It quits on the retrieve step

http://www.emr4doctors.com/xml/music.xml is the place we put the xml we're testing...we point to this folder
the title changes perfectly

Any ideas?

Re: differences between simplevideoplayer and player

I didn't go through the code to see where it's happening, but either the StreamFormat is getting overwritten someplace or it's not getting picked up from music.xml. You can either fix the bug in the code or add episode.StreamFormat = "wmv" before screen.SetContent(episode) in appVideoScreen.brs if you're only ever going to play WMVs.
