Manifest Error

I have downloaded the example files and can load the zipped files to my Roku box for testing. However, when I work with the source files and then create a zip file, I get an error saying "Install Failure: No manifest. Invalid package."

This occurs even when I zip a source folder from the examples which I haven't yet changed. I'm using a Mac... is there something incompatible?

Thanks,

    Thanks, I knew it had to be something really, really simple... and it was!!!!

    Makes perfect sense. If you make a zip of the containing folder, then your Roku unit can't find the files (they're all in a folder and it doesn't understand that). So going inside the folder, selecting all and sending to a zip is the way the zip file needs to be saved.

    Thanks again...
