Channel Creation Online API

Is there a developer API (SOAP or REST or something) for creating and mantaining channels? Basically I want to able to write something to automate "Add Channel" process on the developer site for me.

    There is no web services interface for this.

    A developer must use a web browser to submit packages through the developer site for publishing to the channel store.

    It would be nice if, when editing a channel, it would leave the artwork in place unless I choose to change it. Its a pain to select 3 files every time I want to put up the channel. Of course maybe I publish too often 🙂 .. I recently have tried to do semi-live beta testing using the private channel feature. I too would like to have a "make upload" type of option to upload the channel to Roku. I tried to use "make pkg" but it uses invalid xargs arguments (on OSX), so, I am stuck before I ever get started. I am sure I could either fix the Makefile or install gnuxargs or something :p.

    You can just leave the artwork in place. It's not obvious, but you don't have to upload new art, just the .pkg
