"SceneGraph: Build a Channel" video course

I just wish this course didn't leave out critical stuff like how to create categories and add videos with tags to those categories like in direct publisher.  Also how to actually put together an app with all the elements.   This goes through each element individually and leaves you to figure out how to include them all into the final app.  I also wonder why there hasn't been a full template created so that we can just link our json file to it and all the options we need.  (like categories...). 

https://my.roku.com/account/add/HL5RPZ returns "The channel code provided is associated with a channel not available in your region." Can this be opened to all regions?

Just want to say thanks for this tutorial.  I just started learning how to program the Roku and found this series very useful.  It's much easier to figure things out when you see how to build a complete application from the ground up.

Hi RokuJonathanD I've followed your video courses and copied the coding given in the examples. However I keep getting an error in Eclipse's IDE for my RowListItemComponent.xml file. for the section  <component name="RowListItemComponent" extends="Group" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="https://devtools.web.roku.
com/schema/RokuSceneGraph.xsd">

I keep getting an error message "the prefix "xsi" for attribute "xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation" associated with element type "component" is not bound".

I am currently trying to find solutions to fix this issue.

Hi, can I sign up for the course through my whatsapp by heymods app?

Hello Sir

I Vansh Student and interested in Development. I have Roku Ultra device and already enabled Developer Settings in that device. Now I want to check the Video Codecs supported by the device. 

I runs a function CanDecodeVideo() but I am getting blank screen no output was display. Similarly this happen when I run GetSupportedGraphicsResolutions() as Object, GetDisplaySize() as Object. But when I runs GetModelDisplayName() as String, GetModelType() as String working fine gives me some output. 

Sir please tell me that how should I run CanDecodeVideo() such that I can get some relevant output. 

My Code Was this:

sub init()
m.top.SetFocus(true)

di = CreateObject("roDeviceInfo")

i=di.CanDecodeVideo()

infoPane = m.top.findNode("infoPane")
infoPane.infoText = i
End sub

Thanks and Regards

Hello! I downloaded the "scenegraph-master-sample" from git and was able to follow along with the video tutorials all the way through Deep Linking. Since Deep Linking was the last tutorial, the source code includes ads and subscription logic that I am not interested in implementing and I'm unsure of how to remove it without wrecking the entire package. Can you provide source code that I can modify that includes the Deep Linking logic, but does not include ads and subscriptions logic? I hope that makes sense.  Ultimately, I just want my viewers to be able to find my channel and watch my videos without having to worry about ads and subscriptions.  PLUS, it appears the Payment section ( https://developer.roku.com/payments ) of the website is down at the moment? I look forward to hearing back from you soon.  Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!  EXCELLENT TUTORIAL, by the way!!!  Many thanks!

Question about this. With the SceneGraph channel working on the same structure of feed that the Direct Publisher worked on, and only having the ability for a max of 512 kb feed size, I'm wondering if there are other pre-baked channel templates that work with the Direct Publisher feed that can have larger feed sizes.

Adding the video player 

I've completed this video, when I select the video to play it flashes but doesn't play.  

I've removed all of the code I typed in and replaced it with the code in github (https://github.com/rokudev/scenegraph-master-sample/tree/master/VideoPlayer)

The first step (GridScreen) worked fine.

Is this code still valid?  It's 4 years old and I wonder if something has changed?
