In the mediaplayer example, did you check the file basicplayer.js? The method _createPlaylist creates a playlist using the playlist data in api.js

Thanks,

I was able to follow through the sample code and find what I was looking for. But I'm now stuck with a different problem. I'm trying to play a video I created but keep getting the error

Message: don't know how to handle text/html

Any ideas on why I'm seeing this? When I hit the URL with a browser, the video streams just fine, do I need to stream the video differently for the TV?

just a guess here but looks like your content-type in the html header is text/html not a video mime type.  the URL fed needs to just be the video file.
