Roku Developer Program

The videoplayer sample is great for my purposes but I'd like one of the categories to launch a full screen player and skip the details screen.

Ideally, it would launch a new screen with a half sized roVideoPlayer, so I guess my question is, how do I get one of the categories to launch a different but of code as opposed to pulling form the XML?

if you are able to code a rovideoplayer and do code its easy to call one video player or another.

you can look the name of the file on the xml for example and if it carries VP_videofile.mkv

the VP_ being your wild card then you can send the video to a rovideoplayer..

just let me tell you the rovideoplayer can be a bitch sometimes to code..

is that what you are looking for?

That is what I'm looking for, and I have a working roVideoPlayer. I'll give it a shot, thanks for the reply.

heres some code i use to check strings..

if Instr(1, YourFileBaseName, "VP_")
    runVideo(params)
else
    runDescription(params)
end if
