Hi, I have a little question; I have my private channel roku where I broadcast content hls, I want to know if there is a way to configure my channel for live transmission, I tried modifying this part of the code: (showfeed.brs): item.Live = "true"
And configuring my xml file like this: <live>true</live>
But it does not work, I have seen in other channels that even the progress bar shows this icon and my channel does not show it. If you know a trick, I would appreciate your support.

others channels:
item = init_show_feed_item()
'fetch all values from the xml for the current show
item.Live = "true"
item.hdImg = validstr(curShow@hdImg)
item.sdImg = validstr(curShow@sdImg)
item.ContentId = validstr(curShow.contentId.GetText())
item.Title = validstr(curShow.title.GetText())
item.Description = validstr(curShow.description.GetText())
item.ContentType = validstr(curShow.contentType.GetText())
item.ContentQuality = validstr(curShow.contentQuality.GetText())
item.Synopsis = validstr(curShow.synopsis.GetText())
item.Genre = validstr(curShow.genres.GetText())
item.Runtime = validstr(curShow.runtime.GetText())
item.HDBifUrl = validstr(curShow.hdBifUrl.GetText())
item.SDBifUrl = validstr(curShow.sdBifUrl.GetText())
'item.StreamFormat = validstr(curShow.streamFormat.GetText())
'item.SwitchingStrategy= validstr(curShow.SwitchingStrategy.GetText())
if item.StreamFormat = "" then 'set default streamFormat to mp4 if doesn't exist in xml
item.StreamFormat = "hls"
endif
'map xml attributes into screen specific variables
item.ShortDescriptionLine1 = item.Title
item.ShortDescriptionLine2 = item.Description
item.HDPosterUrl = item.hdImg
item.SDPosterUrl = item.sdImg
item.Length = strtoi(item.Runtime)
item.Categories = CreateObject("roArray", 5, true)
item.Categories.Push(item.Genre)
item.Actors = CreateObject("roArray", 5, true)
item.Actors.Push(item.Genre)
item.Description = item.Synopsis
'Set Default screen values for items not in feed
item.HDBranded = false
item.IsHD = false
item.StarRating = "90"
item.ContentType = "episode"
'media may be at multiple bitrates, so parse an build arrays
for idx = 0 to 4
e = curShow.media[idx]
if e <> invalid then
item.StreamBitrates.Push(strtoi(validstr(e.streamBitrate.GetText())))
item.StreamQualities.Push(validstr(e.streamQuality.GetText()))
item.StreamUrls.Push(validstr(e.streamUrl.GetText()))
endif
next idx
showCount = showCount + 1
feed.Push(item)
skipitem:
next
End Function
And configuring my xml file like this: <live>true</live>
<item sdImg="http://LOGO.PNG" hdImg="http://LOGO.PNG">
