Help! Newbie! Channel Won't Load!

Maybe you're having the same problem discussed in this thread? viewtopic.php?f=34&t=35870&start=0

I have a manifest at the top of my zip file. My whole package is 88k so its not that big.

If anyone wants to look at this and help me, here's a link to my zip file.

My channel code is startrek.

The manifest needs to be named "manifest". Yours is named "manifest.xml"

It also has some extra stuff in it. You need to get rid of these first couple lines...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Tried it. Didn't work!

You're zipping from the wrong starting point. There shouldn't be a sthf directory in the zip. The manifest should be at the root of the zip and there should be subdirectories for source, images, and artwork. There's a whole lot in the zip that doesn't need to be there (all the __MACOSX stuff, Makefile.xml, .DS_Store, etc.).

By the way, I tried to play a video and my box rebooted.

Okay, I was creating the zip file on a mac at home and it added that stuff. Borrowed my fiance's pc, and took that stuff out.

Is this any better?

I'll worry about the video once I can get the channel to load.

Thanks for your help!

Looks good, except your manifest should be called manifest (no extension at all) and it should not be an XML file - just a straight text file. Eliminate everything before the "title" line. If you're now on a PC, you may want to delete all the .DS_Store files.

Thanks for your help. Got it to load in development mode which is a start so I can see what I'm doing. Got the videos to load in hd. Were you using hd or sd?
