@LDMnetwork The design you posted can be done using a JSON feed file that defines a Series with Seasons and Episodes.  Here's one that I defined:

@LDMnetwork @sattun already replied to your post in "json 'Seasons' help" with sample code.  If that's not sufficient, you should look for a software solution.

Re: Setting up my own Roku Channel

Thank you for the information and that is what I want my channel to look like, but I can't get it to work. The code that was sent is different for what my look likes. Well Thank I will just keep trying to look around for the code or something.
