simple video player example
Ok, am i missing something here? but when i try to load the example and no matter what the video doesnt play
I checked the video location its there
i added a few more things to be on the safe side to the zip file
- url utilities
- general dlgs
- general Utils
all i get is it starts the video screen then goes back out and says that no stream when indeed there is
again this is without any modifications to the example except chaging this print command down a bit so i can see it actually display
Displaying video: http://video.ted.com/talks/podcast/Crai ... 08_480.mp4
the print was above the urls
what is missing to actually make this work? I can not be the only one who has had this issue ... I am sure its something small and silly like the regscreen where you need to uncomment something or it will never work.

Re: simple video player example
The issue is for some reason with the "qualities" in the example.
its set like this
qualities ="HD"
if i set it to SD it plays, the reason is i see in the "item" above in this example it says: IsHD =false

Re: simple video player example
The isHD and HDBranded attributes apply to a content item as a whole. Each content item can have any number of streams associated with it and those streams can be any mix of SD and HD. So it isn't incorrect for a content item's isHD attribute to not match one of its subordinate streams' quality attribute. It is a little weird the way it was done in this particular example though.
My guess is that the real reason it wouldn't work is that your box is running in SD mode. A box in SD mode will not attempt to play a stream whose quality attribute is HD. The simplevideoplayer example without modification runs fine on my box when it's in HD mode, but fails to play the video in SD mode.

Re: simple video player example
I thought that too Chris but my box is set to HD thats how i came to that assumption of that being the reason it did that.
guess i could be wrong, but it was an assumption 😉 and it worked when i made it SD so thought i was right

simple video player example, HELP!
Ok so I'm working on my first Roku channel and need some quick help. No matter what I create I am getting this error code after my Springboard:
An error occurred while attempting to compile the application:
------->Script directory "/source" does not exist in zip archive.
Does this have to do with the zip creation or the makefile? Even when I take one of the example zips, unzip them on my Mac (snow leopard) then rezip it gives the same error without changing any of the script. The examples load fine if I just load the original zip. What am I missing?

Be sure you are zipping up the contents of your directory and not the directory itself. Your package needs to be structured as myChannel.zip/source and not mychannel.zip/myChannel/source.

Re: simple video player example
Thanks! That was exactly my issue. Now I'm just having a parsing feed problem 😞
