JSON Desktop Creation Tool for Roku

Hello to all and wishing you are all well. 

I wonder if anyone knows of a program/app to create the JSON file for a Roku channel. An editor, etc. I have found several online but either too expensive or incomplete/buggy, unusable. 

I'm my no means a programmer, but I am very computer knowledgeable with many years of experience. I have Windows and Mac. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd like to create my channel JSON with a pre-roll, and ads. If you have any material that I could use, please send it my way!

God Bless all and please stay safe!

I found this one:

 GitHub - rrirower/json-feed-manager: Setup file(s) for the Json Feed Manager for Roku Direct Publish...

Is this the one you were talking about?

Thanks Aaron!

The program is nice, but it keeps crashing. Do you know of any other?

Re: JSON Desktop Creation Tool for Roku

@Raul-WA4TPR I am the developer of the JSON feed manager. You can PM me, or, post an issue on GitHub. I'll be glad to help you.

Update: I've checked for reported crashes for the software and found no new ones.

FREE Windows desktop software for creating BIF (Trick Play), Direct Publisher (MRSS, JSON), and FireTV feeds @ GitHub/rrirower. No programming knowledge required.
