Hello, new to the forums. Pardons if necessary. I hope this question finds the right mind :)
I’m attempting to setup a root page in an app under development and I’d like to use Grid (or Grids?).

I’ve managed to setup a list for the root page. It’s plain and simple.

But I’ve tried setting up a root to mimic how Spotify and Tunein show their items.

If possible, my guess is the data structured in soap to serve the root page is not correct. 

Can I be pointed in the right direction? Maybe even an example or two? Or some expl

anations how one might accomplish this? 

Thanks in advance! Enjoying a speaker I got and the work for an app.

There are two ways, there is the json way (used by some services), and the SMAPI way (used by everyone). SMAPI is documented, json is not. json is preferred, but Desktop doesn’t support it and SMAPI is always a safe fallback.

How global root is displayed is all up to you.
