MRSS Smaller Thumbnails Not Showing

You're not missing anything. That particular list style (flat-episodic) doesn't display thumbnails for anything except the currently highlighted item. Typically, that list style would be used to display an episode number instead of a thumb by setting the EpisodeNumber metadata attribute. I believe the "flat-episodic-16x9" list style will show thumbnails while giving you similar metadata display below the thumbs, if 16x9 will work for you.

    Thank you thank you. I'm so excited I might cry. It's perfect. I have to redo over 500 thumbnails on all my different channels but don't even care. I really really appreciate your help. Thank you so much.

    Glad it accomplishes what you're after! If you set the list display mode (via SetListDisplayMode) to "scale-to-fit", "zoom-to-fit" or "photo-fit", one of those modes may provide good enough results without having to redo all of your thumbnails. The default is "scale-to-fill" which will stretch your thumbs. The others maintain the aspect ratio, but have differing degrees of cropping.

    there is such a thing as this:

    mrss_grid_template_1.0.1.zip

    which might help, I can't find the original link, I'm sure a ROKUperson will have it or you can PM me an email address and I'lll send it to you.

    It is inside the ZIP blob, http://wwwimg.roku.com/static/sdk/RokuSDK.zip
    Because there is no single SDK anymore - it is spread between said ZIP, the wiki documentation, sourceforge directory and random dropbox URL droppings in this forum - a bit of easter egg hunt happens when you need something. This particular MRSA thing is only in the venerable ZIP.
