Hero layout doesn't work

Hello all.  I'm using my Vimeo Pro account to feed content to my Roku Direct Publisher channel.  I've selected the "Hero" layout, refreshed my content, saved and updated the channel, then did the system update on the Roku device.  Still no hero layout.  I did more restarts, refreshes, updates, tantrums, and still no hero layout.  Is the hero layout real?

Here's my channel: https://vimeo.com/showcase/6026399/feed/roku/8b9b6768fe

Also, I can't filter content into distinct categories - but that is another post.


Thanks for your thoughts.

Re: Hero layout doesn't work

I've been using the Hero layout for two separate channels.  I haven't had a problem with it.  What exactly is your problem?  What do you see instead?

Re: Hero layout doesn't work

Same problem I'm having. We chose the Hero Row but our channel defaults to the Standard layout. I haven't been able to figure this problem out either with Direct Publisher. 

My Roku2 shows Standard Layout while the Preview in my developer account shows Hero Row.
