Everytime I push the publish button I get an error, told to contact support. How exactly can you contact support anyway? and why isn't this publishing?

So far I am very happy and may go Roku exclusive, but we will know in a month. My private channels on the plain jane, box cutter, sample coded player does extremly well, what I am looking for is more users on the public channel within a few months then I have on my private channel, if that happens then I stay with the direct publisher, if that does not happen then I know being public doesn't make a difference of being private and will just develope a brightscript player with advertising for my private channel if the dollars coming in warrant it.
sible.
Mitch (or anybody), can you clarify something for me? When you build a channel using SDK/coding does it automatically become only a "Private" channel?? What steps need to be made to make it a Public channel? I'm sure the Netflix's and Pandora's, CBS News etc get certain priorities, but I have some small-mid size channels I found thru the regular Streaming Channels section.
Pasnow, SDK channels are not private by default. The developer sets whether the channel should be public or private at the onset of the channel submission process.
There are two ways to convert a channel from private to public:
1) Create an entirely new channel, and upload the same package used for your private channel. This will, of course, mean that you lose all existing channel installs, but you benefit from being featured in the New & Notable section for the first 30 days after being published.
2) Email partnersuccess@roku.com from the email account that owns the channel, provide your channel ID, and request that the channel is made public. The channel will keep its existing installs, but it will not be featured in the New & Notable section.
