Framework Base Apps - Layouts & Navigation Screens
Roku: Channels Content Homescreen (Type 1)
The default Roku Home Screen is the Type 1 "Channels Content Homescreen", which displays the Gallery Images of your Sub Channels or Media Groups in rows of Channels, consistently with other TV Apps.
The red-framed area is the instantly visible area of the app's home screen.
The Video Gallery Image Area (or "Highlight Area"), at the tope, will display dynamically interchanging Gallery Images as beautiful background, loaded from the item of the remote control focus (the Channel or Video the User browses to with his remote control on the Home Screen).
The dark gradient area below is the scrollable area "below the fold", allowing viewers to scroll through your rows of Channels (Categories).
Live Channels will be positioned on row one at the top.
Channels which contain Sub Channels or Media Groups will display the Gallery Images of your Sub Channels or Media Groups.
If you wish to display Channel (Category) Images instead of Sub Channel Images (such as for a language pre-selection, or to simply first enter category-areas), then please select the "Channel List Homescreen - Type 2".
Roku: Channel List Homescreen (Type 2)
The Channel List Homescreen displays the Gallery Images of Channels. This layout might be an option if you desire to use VOD Channels for different language areas and want to display a language selection on the Home Screen, or for other use-cases where displaying the Channel Images is of essence.
Roku: Sub Channel or Media Groups Screen
If you selected the Type 2 "Channel List Homescreen", then the Video Playlists of your Sub Channels and Media Groups will be displayed in a separate navigation tier.
Please note that in this Layout Option your Sub Channels and Media Groups Images will not be displayed, but instead the Video Thumbnails in this grid layout.
If you selected the detault Type 1 "Channels Content Homescreen", the Playlist of Videos of your Sub Channels or Media Groups will be displayed in a single row on this navigation tier.

The "Play All" option automatically opens the next Video from this Playlist after the selected Video has ended, and continues to open the next Video from the Playlist continuously, until the viewer stops the binge-watching of this Playlist.
