BrightAuthor Feed Parser example

Sample brightscript parser to get you started with processing a feed with url links to media files. This parser is intended to work with BS:Connected On Demand state or BrightAuthor Classic Video Play File state.

Sub feedParser(xmlFileName$ as String, itemsByIndex as object, itemsByTitle as Object, userVariables As Object)
    print "@feedParser"
    slog=createobject("roSystemLog")
    xml = CreateObject("roXMLElement")

        if not xml.Parse(ReadAsciiFile(xmlFileName$)) then 
            msg$ =  "@feedParser FAILED to read xml: " + xmlfilename$
            print msg$
            slog.sendline(msg$)
            return
        end if

        if type(xml.channel.item) <> "roXMLList" then 
            msg$ =  "@feedParser NOT a roXMLList: " + xmlfilename$
            print msg$
            slog.sendline(msg$)
            return
        end if

        for each itemXML in xml.channel.item

            ItemTitle$ = itemXML.title.GetText()
            itemUrl$ = itemXML.link.GetText()

            slog.sendline("@feedParser " + itemUrl$ )
            slog.sendline("@feedParser " + ItemTitle$)    

            itemsByIndex.push(itemUrl$)
            itemsByTitle.AddReplace(ItemTitle$, itemUrl$)

        next


end Sub
