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!
I am definitely less than a novice when it comes to coding and wish I had something to contribute. I really appreciate the contributions of the developer community, it's relieved much of my concerns I had after hearing of direct puplisher being sunset. Haven't had much luck manipulating the code. Still stumbling in the dark but feeling like I might figure it out. I would wager a solution will be provided before I discover one myself.
