Channel Pkg Upload Error
When updating my channel, I attempt to upload my package zip file and get this message:
"uploaded package file format invalid"
I'm not sure what I'm missing because I've uploaded before with no problems. Is .zip file the only format to upload pkg?
Also, when I download my published .zip package, I'm unable to open it with Stuffit Deluxe.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Re: Channel Pkg Upload Error
Please see the Developer Guide Section 7.3 for an explanation on how to use the SDK Makefiles for creating your zip.
If creating by hand take care to make the top-level directory contain:
source/ images/ manifest
--Kevin

You're not supposed to be able to open a pkg file with a zip program or stuffit deluxe.

Still at a loss.
So if anyone is bored on a Friday night and would like to see if they can figure out why I'm unable to upload zip file to the private channel,
here's the zip file I'm trying to upload:
http://aeustudios.com/pnn.zip

Re: Channel Pkg Upload Error
You had the directory structure of the zipfile wrong: here is a working zip: http://www.libertydrome.com/media/pnnradiofinal.zip
I opened it in developer mode and everything looked and played right.
What you need to do now is open the zip in developer mode on your computer, run genkey and generate a password then you can generate a pkg file to be uploaded at Roku's developer site.

Maybe this is where I'm having the problem. Excuse my ignorance but how do you "open the zip in developer mode on your computer, run genkey and generate a password then you can generate a pkg file". I'm on a Mac.
Thanks again for all your help!
