No more XML - need a package now to play videos?

Before I used to be able to upload an xml file to my roku to play simple files.  Now it seems like it needs a package.  Sample xml file.

Are you using Direct Publisher or the Roku SDK?

FREE Windows desktop software for converting Direct Publisher channels to SceneGraph (SDK), for creating BIF (Trick Play) files, Roku (MRSS, JSON) feed files, and FireTV feed files @ GitHub/rrirower.
