Import external files

The import selector form is used to run custom code you write to import an external file into the Channel Feed Manager and convert it to Roku MRSS or Roku JSON.

Type the path of the external file, or, click the Browse (...) button to navigate to it. Then, select an importer from the list and click the Import button. Your importer code will be executed, and if successful, a new feed file will be loaded into the Channel Feed Manager.

NOTES:

Each line of your CSV file must use the following format:

guid; pubDate; title; description; categories; keywords; thumbnail; content

• categories uses '!' to delimit one or more category fields.
• content uses '|' to delimit one or more content fields.

Please see the sample file Csv2Mrss.csv in the ..\Documents\Channel Feed Manager\Importers folder for a sample import file.
