DP to SceneGraph wizard tool released
I've created a wizard tool that should alleviate some of the anxiety of converting a Direct Publisher channel to a SceneGraph channel. The tool can be found on GitHub.
The tool will walk you through some steps to generate BrightScript code that uses your JSON feed file to create a SceneGraph grid-style channel similar to the UI of Direct Publisher. The code supports ALL content types including Series/Episodes. However, there are some caveats:
- The code generated is an "alpha" version. This means it is not fully tested and may contain bugs. It should NOT be used as the basis of a production channel. Use the generated code at your own risk.
- The code will NOT currently pass channel certification. I plan on continuing to develop the code and thought it was important to get it into the hands of DP channel developers.
- The tool assumes that your feed file specifies Categories that use Tags to "bucket" your channel content. Your feed file MUST contain Category objects and Tags.
I'm looking for feedback and comments on the wizard and the code that it produces. Please use GitHub to discuss, comment, and ask questions. Please do not use this forum to ask questions, or, report errors. If you find a problem, open an issue on the GitHub site.
If you want to be notified of future version releases, you should "star"/watch the GitHub project repository.
