It's an existing channel I've tried to update.
There's a general misconception as to how categories work. If you've specified "from feed" for your categories, your feed file must actually contain Category objects. It cannot contain solely playlists as your sample feed show. Per the Roku JSON spec:
The category object defines a new category your channel will display, and the content included in it based either on a playlist (see object description below), or a query containing one or multiple tags. You can also create them directly in Direct Publisher.
It may not be obvious, but, you actually need to define both objects. A category object that specifies the name of a playlist, and, the actual playlist object.
You are correct about the mrss feed link posted but the json feed is good!
His streamhost json feed is fine and its all he needs to parse his categories, I checked it and sideloaded it!
The other link was an rss feed and we dont need that!
He just needs to use the json feed w the category tags and playlist which streamhost provided him with!
What he is not understanding I believe he doesnt know or He is not aware that Roku sunset Direct publisher and is no longer supporting Direct publisher and wants everyone to coinvert to SDK by January or loose their channel!
