Using IRC... Stock image not updating

In the IRC Platform, while creating an episode, i manged to edit and replace the HDListPosterUrl and SDListPosterUrl images with my own from s3 bucket.
However, when I package and upload, these images are not shown except a blank grey box with a TV inside. This are the images on the main screen after you enter the Channel. (in the GRID)
My new images are visible in the platform.

Please help. Thank you.

    Most likely it is some problem with the URL.

    If you have it in the images folder in your package, make sure it is something like pkg:/images/search.png.

    If the images are coming from a web server, make sure you have the fully qualified domain name (the Roku seems to not use default suffixes handed out by DHCP), and make sure there are no illegal characters in the URL such as spaces (that one got me).

    I'm not sure what the "IRC Platform" is, but the roGridScreen uses HDPosterUrl and SDPosterUrl for its images, not HDListPosterUrl and SDListPosterUrl. That could be your issue.

    IRC Platform = http://www.InstantRokuChannel.com - it's a cloud-based Roku channel creation tool. It takes about 5 minutes to crank out a PKG file assuming you have all content & artwork ready.

    There was a problem where roPosterScreen & roGridScreen artwork hosted in an Amazon S3 bucket was not being displayed. This was corrected a few days ago.
