Screen Going Black While Playing Podcasts

Dev Community Dev/API Corner

Hi folks,



I am writing a plugin for the MSDN Channel 9 site, which contains a mixture of videos and podcasts.



The videos and podcasts all play fine, but when I play a podcast the following happens:

  • I see a box for the podcast slide in on the left, showing the podcast name, etc.
  • Podcast audio plays fine.
  • Then a few seconds later the whole screen goes black.



    I am just wondering if this is because I had added the podcast as a VideoItem (because the page

    I am scraping doesn’t contain any info about the media type of the items, and I am trying not

    to fetch the detail xml for each item before I add it, or it will take ages to build up the directories).



    Is there some parameter I can pass so that the screen does not go black? Or can I swap out the VideoItem

    with an audio equivalent at playback time?



    Thanks,



    Charlie
