Re: using sdk I have a channel that works. How to add ??

I suppose I could ask this a diffrent way.

I have a unix web server that servers content for private channel A.

to create channel B ,

do i need to create another copy of the videotest ( TED ) directory tree and

name it channelB for example?

Then create a new content tree for channelb on unix server. ?


the end result is that I have two private channels that are independate of themselves

with the exception of the key and the passcode on roku box.


any ideas or examples on two private channel setup ?

yes, you would duplicate your existing project, and then change the URL's for the xml files, and on your server, create a separate folder for the new XML files that go with that channel.

Re: using sdk I have a channel that works. How to add ??

Was able to copy and change the files , create another channel to glue them into.
I exceeded the roku box , limits, it wants me to plug in a card/sim probably like the
very small one in my camera..
The good news is , I was able to run two channels , in seperate directorys ( with copys of the
videostream , parts ) and on my web server, I have a completly diffrent tree listing for one
of my crappy dynamic dns domains.. none the less I have a proof of concept.
