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 thro...

Hello, not sure if I post here or github but my question is, how updated is the Wizard output SG channel? Does it pass current channel certification with deep linking and all? Thanks
All support is done on the Github page!
Thanks so much! Will give it a shot.
I'm working off a Mac so I can't run the software. Can anyone post a copy of their SDK file that I could edit for my own channel?
I appreciate all the help you've provided to other amateur Roku developers like me on this message board. Thanks!
Hi @johnary - I'm on a Mac. I'm in the middle of packing for a big move, but saw the tag from Baradanikto and didn't want to leave you hanging. Yes, I successfully switched over to SG with Baradanikto's tools going this route!!!😃👏🏻🙏🏻
I set up a Virtual Machine on Amazon AWS Free Tier to create a virtual console Windows instance (via their EC2 dashboard). It takes some patience if you've never done it, but probably all-in around an hour since you know where to look now. In hindsight...and looking forward, I might consider just getting a Mini PC so I don't need deal with virtual and remote login, but it will definitely work. Here are 2 videos I looked at that will help:

There are instructions to walk you through it there and on YT. You'll want to use Microsoft Remote Desktop app for the Mac to connect. It works fine, although a little slow due to the remote.Happy to help!
I was able to use the DP to SceneGraph tool. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to like my JSON file because when the channel loads I get a "Please wait. Loading..." message that doesn't go away. The JSON file is only 374kb so I don't think it's the size. The JSON file has been generated from the WP Smart TV Wordpress plugin and works without issue on my current DP channel. I've replaced my JSON file (https://fff-roku.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/sample-roku-feed1.json) with a sample JSON file and it works fine (https://devtools.web.roku.com/samples/rdp-content-feed.json).
Any ideas on what could be causing the issue?
EDIT: Had a bad URL for my JSON feed.
You wrote: my JSON file (https://samplefff.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/fff-roku-feed.json)
But you stated you are using WP Smart TV! If so the WP Smart TV plugin doesnt place the JSON Feed in amazon aws, It has a internal feed link which you need to use a redirect plugin to redirect to a the same link but add a dot JSON at end and redirect it back to the origanal feed location!
Next the amazon aws link you posted:
(https://samplefff.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/fff-roku-feed.json) Does not work! Might be a permissions issues! Note if you go to this link in a browser window you get an error!
johnary if you contact me on my site email admin@ondemandtvnetworks.com I can get you a copy of an SDK zip package that you can unzip and edit with a text editor on your mac!
