Forum Discussion
RokuJonathanDwas the thread on this topic that was in the Direct Publisher subforum deleted??
This is bananas. First off, that post was in the correct subforum, as many Direct Publisher users never venture onto this part of the board. Secondly, we had an active discussion going on which helped other users go thru the conversion to SDK process, including things not mentioned in the instructions. (For instance: To remove the second instance of the FEED_URL in the original Manifest file. Something the instructions do not mention to do). This would definitely benefit future converters to know this info. Also, again just seeing an active thread on the subject may alert many DP users.
It makes no sense to have removed that thread. Again, it was in the correct subforum, not a 'duplicate post' if that was the reasoning. Also I don't think Brightscript coders are going to want to read about us DP users in this sub, constantly posting about our problems in the conversion. It's very likely to remain an active topics throughout the remainder of the year so will be better off staying in the Direct Publisher sub.
Looks like they messed up badly! only 6 months to get rid of thousands of not-so-profitable channels, and remove the thread that people were talking about it! Oh boy, they are killing it.
37mediagroup I agree, and if we are to talk about "duplicate posts" - that was posted first - this - a bit after 🙂 -
Should we set up a Facebook group to discuss and help each other deal with the conversion of the channels?
It might help those who are using FB.
