I provide free software to create and manage a channel feed.  With it, you can set up Series with Seasons easily.  Check my signature below for information.

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.

Hi @newchannel,

To create a series with seasons you need to have seasons key with seasonsNumber, here is a sample JSON (BTW you can create this feed on our OTTfeed.com platform in 1 minute):
