I'm having trouble with my JSON file. It's generated via WP Smart TV and can be found at https://fff-roku.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/fff-roku-feed.json. On the DP to SceneGraph template from Baradanikto , it won't load. On the MyTVShow template from ferdiworks it only loads half of my tags/categories. Everything else seems to work fine and when I test other json feeds, there doesn't seem to be any problems. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
johnary Have you tried using categories with Playlist instead?

Your feed file has at least one problem. I loaded it into The Channel Feed Manager and it reported the following:
An error has been detected in your feed file: 'Invalid type. Expected Array but got String. Path 'shortFormVideos[71].genres', line 1953, position 24.'I then took a look at your feed file and noticed this:
"genres": "",Genres is an array of strings. Your feed file defines it as a single string.
Thank you Baradanikto and ferdiworks. I just scheduled my DP channel to update to SDK. You're help was invaluable.
Glad to hear you are up and running, But don't thank me, all the credit goes to @Baradanikto for his work in the DP to Scenegraph software. I just took an older version of his work and edited it for your feed so you could use your Mac to edit the files!
