How can I add Cyrillic (Russian) chars/letters on filter banner, for categories names?
My xml feed is UTF-8, and in the file the chars are displayed correct, but in the Roku Channel I can't see these letters.

This is a good question. I've put up some Spanish-language videos that didn't play because of accented vowels used in the synopsis.

Another semi-related issue I've had is that an ampersand (&) used in the title or synopsis fields of an xml file causes big problems. I'm using the videoplayer example, btw.

The & needs to be in the xml as & or else it won't be able to be parsed.
As for alternate characters, there was a thread on this previously that said it would work with a custom font and roImageCanvas, but I'm not sure if that works currently or not.
You could have your xml parser replace the nonstandard characters before populating the screen content.

Thanks for that info. It looks like I might even be able to to use &#191 for ¿ and &#233 for é, etc. I'll give it a try. Thanks again!

For me isn't clear: Can I use Cyrillic chars with roXMLElement? If not, how can I parse these chars? I need to add Cyrillic chars on roPosterScreen and in roVideoScreen. For category/video name. How I can do this?
