The url you posted is not a Cloudfront url. It should look something like
http://026550cf85f84b.cloudfront.net/...
More importantly, the url you posted is not accessible from a browser. I think the error is thrown because Roku cannot access your feed file and determine the video format.
Baradanikto Thx for your reply! I thought it had to be a secure URL (eg: https://...) Is that not the case?

The below error is what I get when I tried to use the Cloudfront URL per your suggestion. I'm sure there's something missing in the URL (perhaps the actual JSON file)?
When I append the JSON file to this URL, I get the an error as well (see below):
When I append to the URL,I get the following below:
Which 1 of these Objects should I Append to the Cloudfront URL?

I don't think the URL for the feed needs "https". The URL should be the Cloudfront bucket you specified and the name of the feed file. Your feed file name looks incorrect because it contains "+".

Ok so I tried renaming the Json Feed File (essentially removing "+"...) and I'm still getting the error (see below). At this point, I'd like it if you could post a solution, which includes an example of what the validated URL out of Amazon S3/Cloudfront CDN actually does look like and has proven to work successfully on the Roku OTT Platform. Please sir.
AaronMSpelling - would you have an example of a validated URL out of Cloudfront that's currently running a channel on Roku with success?
