OpenRokn Feeds
There are two types of xml feeds supported by OpenRokn, primary and secondary feeds. All ORML feeds MUST begin with an orml element containing a version and namespace attribute.

Primary feeds
Your Roku channel will typically only contain a single primary feed. The one exception is the search_item. The primary feed contains the main layout for your channel and determines which content is displayed when the channel first loads. All primary feeds MUST contain a channel element as the first child node of the orml element.

   </channel>
</orml>

Primary feeds are used when you need the initial screen to be either a poster or grid screen (e.g., when a channel first loads). The channel element tells the software to expect either a poster or grid as the first item. If neither a poster or grid item is detected then the channel will exit. The first item in a primary feed is slightly different from other items in that you only need to provide a style and title attribute. Since the item isn't displayed as a poster you won't need to provide the sdposterurl or hdposterurl attributes.

   </channel>
</orml>

Secondary feeds
A secondary feed is a feed that is used to populate a poster screen or a row on a grid screen and is used in combination with the feedurl attribute. All secondary feeds MUST contain a feed element as the first child node of the orml element. The first item element can be any of the supported types. It does not have to be a poster or grid item. Secondary feeds are described in more detail on the poster_item and grid_item pages. Below is a secondary feed example.
