Hiding the paragraph text from episodic view?

You could copy your array to a new array one piece at a time (you have to do it like that), and leave out the ShortDescriptionLine2. Then do your screen.setcontentlist() with the new array.

It's confusing that the SDK references that text as 'paragraphtext', yet you're saying to control it with 'ShortDescriptionLine2'? I've statically set 'paragraphtext' to a peice of simple text and left 'ShortDescriptionLine2' empty, but the Roku seems to be pulling the text I have set as 'Description' instead and displaying it in the paragraph space.

What gives??

Episodic poster screens display 3 chunks of text, shortDescriptionLine1, shortDescriptionLine2, and description. Paragraphtext is not a valid content-meta-data attribute. It is confusing that it was used on the slides for those screen types.

If you don't want to show the description text, you can use arced-16x9. You'll also get bigger posters that way.
