You've got a couple of concerning issues in your feed file.

  1. You've specified empty arrays for Movies, Series, and TV specials.  It's not a good idea to define an empty array.
  2. Your categories are defined incorrectly.  You cannot use '&' in a category query.  You are limited to 'AND' and 'OR' operators.

    Is there anyway you can check the feed now.
    I made the edits that you recommended. I really appreciate your time. Thank you!

      You have some remaining problems with your categories.

      • The query string can only use one word.  Multiple words can be joined by "AND" and "OR", but, not both.  For example, "Full Episode" is not valid as a query tag.
      • On some of your video content, you've specified tags that don't exist in any category.  For example, "Food and Beverage", "Fashion and accessories".
      • Your videos are not accessible.  Make sure that they are made public so that the Roku framework can access them.
      • You have not specified thumbnail images for your videos.  They are required.

      If you haven't already, you should consider consulting the Roku Direct Publisher feed spec.
