New channel Published but not available in the channel store
So I finally got the email saying my channel has been published on the channel store a day ago. But when I go to search for it on the channel store (streaming channels) nothing comes up on my computer, tv, or laptop. the vanity code feature works but the point is to make the channel available to everyone. I've searched this forum for about an hour and there doesn't seem to be much clarity on this. When I created the channel through direct publisher there wasn't a private or public option. Just the option to publish. Thanks in advance for the feedback.
Usage of the UpdateLastKeypressTime() API is no longer permitted.
Downloaded and worked with the SceneGraph sample channel from Roku on GitHub but when trying to publish the channel using the analysis tool I got a error of "Usage of the UpdateLastKeypressTime() API is no longer permitted. Path: /components/TrackerTask_v.2.2.18.xml. Line: 1924" All that I changed was the channel name in the manifest. I can't even find the xml file in my project. Surprised that a sample channel from Roku won't even pass its own certification standard. What am I doin wrong?
Roku Feed Validation (JSON 2.0) Example Needed
Is there a simple, working Roku Feed Validation (JSON 2.0) example out there to look at? I have seen the documentation to create the file, but not one working example. This always frustrates me when a simple example can save tons of time (I know not one example will work for everyone). I keep getting an error from the Roku submission validator team/autobot - "The following errors and/or warnings were encountered: no assets downloaded" I am not sure if my regular JSON that plays the video (working) is the same file I use with the additional info for things like PlayOption/playId, etc. OR is this an extra file than my content file that I need to submit. Also, is there an actual section in the JSON with a heading called "assets"? Any help would be appreciated.Certification testing fail due to Channel Launch Performance issue.
Getting issue during certification testing "Channel launch time exceeds 20 seconds launch requirement". I am submitting build after tested all over Roku devices, it take less then 15 seconds to fully launched or full render home page. However, I am getting issue during certification testing . Could you please suggest? So I can improve the Channel Launch Performance and publish the channel successfully.
Help...My channel keeps crashing when I add categoryLeaf.
I have developed all my Roku channels with single categories that work well. Now, I tried to add a subcategory in the XML file and when I select a main category to view the subcategories, the channel just closes. When I have single channels pointing to videos, the channel works perfectly. I have read other forum posts on adding <categoryLeaf> and have entered those XML nodes exactly without success. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to make a change in my BRS files or just the XML files? My XML files with subcategories: categories.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <categories> <category title="The Molly Channel" description="Videos and photos of Molly and her friends!" sd_img="http://URL/roku/molly/category-sd-wordpress.jpg" hd_img="http://URL/roku/molly/category-hd-wordpress.jpg" > <categoryLeaf title="Browse movies" description="" feed="http://URL/roku/molly/category-1.xml" /> </category> </categories> categories-1.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <feed> <item sdImg="http://URL/roku/molly/videos/video_molly_snow_1_sd.jpg" hdImg="http://URL/roku/molly/videos/video_molly_snow_1_hd.jpg"> <title>Molly Loves The Snow</title> <contentType>Talk</contentType> <contentId>1</contentId> <media> <streamFormat>MP4</streamFormat> <streamQuality>SD</streamQuality> <streamUrl>http://URL/roku/molly/videos/Molly1.mp4</streamUrl> </media> <media> <streamFormat>MP4</streamFormat> <streamQuality>HD</streamQuality> <streamUrl>http://URL/roku/molly/videos/Molly1.mp4</streamUrl> </media> <synopsis>It's snowing and she wants to go out and make a snow angel, but it's just not cat weather!</synopsis> <genres>Clip</genres> </item> <item sdImg="http://URL/roku/molly/videos/linus1_sd.jpg" hdImg="http://URL/roku/molly/videos/linus1_hd.jpg"> <title>Linus & Betty</title> <contentType>Talk</contentType> <contentId>1</contentId> <media> <streamFormat>MP4</streamFormat> <streamQuality>SD</streamQuality> <streamUrl>http://URL/roku/molly/videos/linus_and_betty.mp4</streamUrl> </media> <media> <streamFormat>MP4</streamFormat> <streamQuality>HD</streamQuality> <streamUrl>http://URL/roku/molly/videos/linus_and_betty.mp4</streamUrl> </media> <synopsis>You know, it's funny.

Component Library questions
Hello everyone, i wanted to make a library that is placed on my server and downloads every time when channel starts but my question is that... As the library will be places on the external server, how new update will work in library. Do we have to re-submit a app/library to Roku channel store if we update library? Or Roku doesn't do statistic analysis of library we do update any thing on library whenever we need to?
