Re: Applacation Package (Public Channel)

So the videos you want to play on your channel (assuming it's a video channel) are online already?

If so, then you'll need to do one of the following:
Create a channel using an online channel creator (I've seen reference to this method in the forums). I expect that this would give you a folder or a zip file.
Modify SDK example by creating your own XML file (perhaps the SimpleVideoPlayer might be a good start)
Code from scratch (or modify SDK example)

If they are not online, you'll have to figure out how to get them online. Then you can point the XML file to those video files.

Once the code is obtained or created, zip into a zip file if not already, then you should be able to follow the instructions in this thread and in the Roku Development guides linked to earlier.

Re: Applacation Package (Public Channel)

Ahhh, you're talking about the Roku.com web page. Not the Roku device's Developer's Web Page.

You upload a zip file into your own Roku device. Then download a Pxxxxxx.pkg file from your own roku device.

That .pkg file is what you upload/submit to Roku.com as the Package.

The .pkg file is created locally on your own Roku device using a web browser on your computer.

Try reading two sections of the Channel Packaging and Publishing guide:
Section 3.0 Packaging Applications
Section 4.0 Managing Channels

If you own a Roku device, you will not need another Roku device.

Please read section 3.2 Package Utility of the Channel Packaging And Publishing guide.
