channel doesn't support multi-level menus like Zane implemented. Prefer that solution works with existing channel as ear9mrn originally posted. User should, best-case, see Series top level, under which would be Season, under which would be list of that season's items sorted by Date. Comments welcomed.
There is an un-used feature in the original roku channel, SpecialCategory, which has no implementation. Zane removed it so merging his UI code is not the direction I want to follow. I may be able to use it to do this feature.
I think Series would be a Special Category and the implementation would be to reset the Home Screen to be a new XML according to the current schema. So the User would see a list of Series and, in those, a list of recorded items. Doing Season would, if it works, also use Special Category such that the "Home" menu (top level) becomes a list of Seasons, and they have the list of recorded items.
At least, that's what I'm thinking at this point. Would not work with original channel so must be side-loaded.
