I have been using the videoPlayer example to understand how to create channels. I have had some succes but I have been unable to figure out how to display categories in rows on the home screen.

The original home screen on the videoPlayer example has one row I would like to add multiple rows (similar to netflix or hulu).

I know that I have to change how the screen is drawn but I cant find what needs to be changed.

Thank you for reading this. I appreciate any information you may be able to give me.

The videoplayer example uses roPosterScreen. You'd need to use roGridScreen for multiple rows.

I have the roGrid up. I have the correct number of rows and columns. I have the category(row) names and the item names displaying.

I have been unable to figure out how to get information from my xml categoryLeaf(s). I am able to get the title with getCategoryList() but I don't know how to get the other tag info such as the images and description.

Is there an array that is created when the xml is parsed?

How do I point to lower levels of the xml?

Thank you for all of your help. This forum has been a great benefit to me and many others. 😄 🙂 😮

I would be very interested in seeing an answer to this as well.
I'm stuck in the same spot.
