simplevideoplayer example does not play video
Hello,
Basically as the title suggests, I have not had luck getting the simplevideoplayer to play video. I have tried unaltered from examples/zip, and also tried uncommenting several of the options in appMain.brs (even tried my own video, nothing seems to work). SDK is up to date 2.9. For example, the Carl Venter video debug suggests the srt is opened, then says play failed, but nothing more. The Dan Gilbert and buck bunny video indicates several <uninitialized> errors.
FWIW the same thing happens with videoplayer example as well.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Re: simplevideoplayer examples do not play video
Try setting qualities to ["SD"] instead of ["HD"] if you are in SDTV mode.

Re: simplevideoplayer example does not play video
Thanks Joel that did the trick!
EDIT- worked for the Venter video but not for the Gilbert video (made sure to uncomment tshowSpringboardScreen(itemMpeg4)) and set to SD.
Apologies if i am missing something in the documentation
thanks!
