Getting Roku to Show on Roku 2

Hi. I am running out of options here. Not sure what I did but I created a Roku Package and I have installed in on my Roku 2 and it says it installed successfully, however, when I go to my channels, it just shows a square with a symbol that looks like a loading symbol in it. When I click on it, it takes me into my channel and I can see all the videos and categories fine. But when I get out of developers mode and I install the package on my Roku, not in developers mode, it says it's installed but it doesn't show up. I have checked many times, but I can't seem to figure out why this isn't showing. I am actually not sure which code that needs to be displayed here to be determined why this is happening. I have this available in all areas, but I didn't think that would make a difference. Any thoughts as to why this wouldn't be showing?

Just to note, I unlinked my roku and did a factory reset on it. So I am out of developers mode. I re-uploaded my package and roku said that it added my channel but it doesn't show up. Also, when I was testing and some packages failed to load properly it still says it's trying to add those to my roku as well, but I don't think that will matter because I can add other channels fine.

Do those four MainMenu icon files exist in the images directory in your package?

Yes. I see that they are there. Where do these images show up anyway?

Re: Getting Roku to Show on Roku 2

Okay. I figured it out for all those that run into this issue as well. My manifest had two spaces before each line in the file. It turns out the manifest file cannot have any spaces in the file.
On a side note though. All those people that had downloaded the channel previously and it didn't install correctly, will be update now that it's fixed?

Yes, in about 24 hours it should update on all devices.
