yeah-- makes sense that the checklist would be applied to pkg updates
but now deep linking is a priority 1
this doesn't seem practical in all instances
for instance I have a small channel-- paid to subscribe to all content
content is less then 20 instructional videos
labeled lesson 1, lesson 2, lesson 3 etc
so to update my pkg file
i would need to recode my entire channel
to support deep linking
open a private channel to submit my channel content for roku search
and restructure my lessons so that they are no longer labeled lesson 1, lesson2, etc...
otherwise people would have to search for "lesson 1" to get my episode in the search results..
===========================================
I am not sure how "search" works on a roku device
my device has never had the search option available
even after having to reset the device to factory settings multiple times
--- if I do not access the dev through my device ip for about 2 weeks-- my device becomes reachable-
--- the only way I can access the dev features again is to reset the device and rekey it...
but i would think that deep linking on a smaller channel like the one i described above is not so practical
the name of the channel -- is basically the topic of the channel
if the search results returned the channel itself- rather then episodes
then that would be enough
I would not expect anyone to search for "lesson 1"
and if they did search for "lesson 1"
i doubt the search results would be anything practical to the user...
