Thank you for this comment! Yes, we have the same issue. We can't afford to pay a developer to make a fancy channel for our church, but have been using Direct Publisher's Hero Row template, which was perfect for our simple needs. I'm not sure why the DP is going away, but providing the tools for channels like our would really be helpful. We tried the one supplied in the migration, but it just tosses everything into one row called "movies". Please consider all the channels that may have to shut down if you are unable to provide such a template.
Please see my Post regarding the tool I've written to help DP channel developers convert to a SceneGraph channel.
Baradanikto thanks for putting this together. Unfortunately we do not have issues with the conversion itself. Rather, we want to use a different template than the one provided by Roku. We want to use the Hero Row template that is provided by Direct Publisher. The conversion isn't that difficult with a little elbow grease, but when it comes to editing the UI, that's much more time consuming and complicated. So we're looking for a one-to-one migration of what we currently have. Otherwise it just shows all the videos in a single row and is not paying attention to the way the JSON file is constructed, which currently with Hero Row, splits the series up into separate video rows.
newperceptions The tool I created produces a grid layout that uses your json feed file to create rows based on the defined categories in your feed file. It supports series with seasons and episodes.
I will check it out. Thank you.
Does this also support liveFeeds? AKA, if I add a liveFeed section before my movies section, should it pick that up as well? Or does it only pick up the playlists? Looks like you can add a live video to a playlist, so not sure how that would work.
