I am experiencing similar issues. The categories aren't displayed so all content is separated into a series row or movies row. The only other rows I can display are tvspecials and shortformvideos. I have tried a variety of sample channels and that is the best results achieved.
I've tried editing the feed as well without success. The tutorials aren't as clear as I had hoped for a novice. Hopefully as more people encounter this issue we might get an answer.

Agreed. I too only see labelled complete rows, and not items separated by category. I've reviewed premium channel examples (Disney+, Amazon etc) and though they have a team of highly qualified developers working on theirs, they can execute why I am looking to do, so it is possible. I'm just concerned that I may need a team of highly qualified developers 🤔

I've tried a variety of the sample channel templates but have only found the rdp to scenegraph template to be without malfunctions. The tool developed by Baradanikto seems promising but has some bugs like duplicate posts and remote buttons stop responding. The rdp to scenegraph template uploads fine in the developer application installer but when trying to covert it I revceive the message 'failed to parse manifest file.' I have been unable to identify the issue, curious if others have experienced this.

The tool developed by Baradanikto seems promising and I been testing it. Its not complete or finished and he told everyone its not ready for Roku certification yet! I am positive about it as its parsing the categories and feeds well for me. I started static testing the. output files and reporting back on github as requested! The software is as is and in developement and I have found and reported some code changes and if you want you support him come over to github on his page and report your testing and results!
Now the tempale here shared with how to add categories to the scenegraph template works well too as long as you can manually add those categories and want to play with the code! I found it to work well to and thought it to be a good contribution!
