Hi,
I am not very experienced with programming Roku channels. I created 2 channels with a template from the ROKU website (Video Player Example Application), but now I have to create another channel that requires 2 levels + the level where all the videos are.
So here is what the channel should look like:
I have 3 XML files
1. Level would be for Category 1, Category 2
2. Level would be for Category 1-1, Category 2-1,...
3. Level would be for the actual content, the videos.
The first Level XML:
2. Level XML:
3. Level XML:
If I use Level 2 as my started level everything works fine. If I add level 1 on top of it, I can display level 2, but after that nothing happens anymore. I assume that the code is expecting the feed after the first category. So how can I change the code that I can go from 1 Category to the 2 Category and then to the feed?
Thanks for your help
Charlie

<synopsis>We live in a time of vast government overreach in part because Christians have forgotten the truth and bought into the lies of humanism. Rather than holding a biblical view of government, too many Christians have stood with their neighbors in calling for a government savior. Dr. D. James Kennedy was on the forefront of warning Christians to beware of putting government in God’s place.</synopsis>
