# Hello All, here is my problem … for uploading Audio everything works like a charm, however when I attempt to update the xm for video “NOT HOSTED ON MY SERVER” the xml does not update. Here is my CODE:

# my.xml

# ?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8” standalone=“yes”?\> \<feed\> \<!-- resultLength indicates the total number of results for this feed --\> \<resultLength\>12\</resultLength\> \<!-- endIndix indicates the number of results for this _paged_ section of the feed --\> \<endIndex\>12\</endIndex\> \<item sdImg=“[http://kasiris.comule.com/bladehd.jpg](http://kasiris.comule.com/bladehd.jpg)” hdImg=“[http://kasiris.comule.com/bladehd.jpg](http://kasiris.comule.com/bladehd.jpg)”\> \<title\>Boy Would You\</title\> \<contentId\>10001\</contentId\> \<contentType\>Music\</contentType\> \<contentQuality\>SD\</contentQuality\> \<streamFormat\>mp4\</streamFormat\> \<media\> \<streamQuality\>SD\</streamQuality\> \<streamBitrate\>1500\</streamBitrate\> \<streamUrl\>[http://kasiris.comule.com/bladeicewood\_boy\_would\_you.mp4](http://kasiris.comule.com/bladeicewood_boy_would_you.mp4)\</streamUrl\> \</media\> \<synopsis\>Owned by icewood ent/dirty glove ent rip icewood\</synopsis\> \<genres\>Rap\</genres\> \<runtime\>359\</runtime\> \</item\> \</feed\>
