I keep checking the code and I’m not sure whats going on

setcontent is not a global function you can use like that. I assume you’re trying to do something like what’s shown here:

player = CreateObject( "roVideoScreen" ) 
player.setMessagePort( port )
player.setContent( content )

I tried setting it up like this

Function showVideoScreen(episode As Object)
　
 if type(episode) <> "roAssociativeArray" then
 print "invalid data passed to showVideoScreen"
 return -1
 endif
　
 port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
 player = CreateObject( "roVideoScreen" ) 
 player.setMessagePort( port ) 
 player.setContent(episode) 
 player.Prebuffer()
　
　
　
 
 player.SetPositionNotificationPeriod(30)
　
 
　
 player.Show()
　
 
　
 
 PlayContentWithFullRAFIntegration(episode)
　
　
　
　
 'Uncomment his line to dump the contents of the episode to be played
 'PrintAA(episode)
　
 while true
 msg = wait(0, port)
　
 if type(msg) = "roVideoScreenEvent" then
 print "showHomeScreen | msg = "; msg.getMessage() " | index = "; msg.GetIndex()
 if msg.isScreenClosed()
 print "Screen closed"
 exit while
 elseif msg.isRequestFailed()
 print "Video request failure: "; msg.GetIndex(); " " msg.GetData() 
 elseif msg.isStatusMessage()
 print "Video status: "; msg.GetIndex(); " " msg.GetData() 
 elseif msg.isButtonPressed()
 print "Button pressed: "; msg.GetIndex(); " " msg.GetData()
 elseif msg.isPlaybackPosition() then
 nowpos = msg.GetIndex()
 RegWrite(episode.ContentId, nowpos.toStr())
 else
 print "Unexpected event type: "; msg.GetType()
 end if
 else
 print "Unexpected message class: "; type(msg)
 end if
 end while
　
End Function

Yet i get the same error

If you got the same error then you did not remove the bogus line “videoScreen = SetContent(episode)”
