Sub RunUserInterface()
screenFacade = CreateObject("roPosterScreen")
screenFacade.show()

port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
videoScreen = CreateObject("roVideoScreen")
videoScreen.setMessagePort(port)
videoScreen.SetPositionNotificationPeriod(10)

videoclip = {}
videoclip.StreamUrls = ["http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/NTV-Public-IPS.m3u8"]
