Hi, thanks for your nice example repo. I want to know - why you have a method prepareData() in your VideoItemLoader, and never call it. You described it in your blog post: http://corochann.com/background-data-loading-android-tv-application-hands-on-tutorial-15-535.html#comment-1919.

However, in your code, you are actually calling VideoProvider.buildMedia(). Please advise.

Hi @IgorGanapolsky , Oh you are chacking in detail.

Actually, prepareData() method was used until chapter 15. It is hard-coded data preparation for easy data preparation. The code until this chapter, which uses prepareData() can be found in this this commit.

And I'm now writing chapter 16 to prepare video data from the internet to dynamically change video data shown on app. This is what VideoProvider.buildMedia() method is doing. I will update blog soon! sorry for the slow update recently.
