Roku Developer Program

[Nitrobotics]

Roku is making our channels hard or impossible to find today using keywords of interest.  Is it possible to launch into another channel you manage, from one of your other channels?  Say, a fishing channel/app launching into a camping channel/app so your Interested viewers can find your other content.

I'm also looking to find a better place where Roku developers can engage.  I find these forums to be horrendous, and basically dead.

You can’t launch directly into them but you can open them in the channel store so the user can then decide whether to install or open the app if it’s already installed. 

see the roAppManager/ifAppManager
