liveFeed JSON question
I'm adding liveFeed to my direct publisher JSON file, and I have a question about the content child object. Inside of "content" there is a required duration field, so how do you know what to set as t...

While I don't run live streams, I have tested one. Take a look at the Roku Schema Document. You'll see that the 'duration' field should be set to the maximum time your live feed will be broadcasting.
Set the 'videoType' field to HLS.
Cannot find an actual example json with liveFeed. I continually get
1 item has an error: No valid items were found in the feed: validateAnyOf
The .m3u8 feed link is valid, though.
Roku gives no json example including the .m3u8 feed, nor have I found it anywhere.
No help anywhere thus far.

{ "id":"1509428502953", "title":"Sample Stream", "content":{ ... }, "language":{ "en" }, "thumbnail":"https://example.org/cdn/thumbnails/1509428502952/1", "brandedThumbnail":"https://example.org/cdn/thumbnails/1509428502952/1", "shortDescription":"A live description", "longDescription":"A longer description of a live stream", "tags":[ "linear", "news", "celebrity" ] }Of course but it is missing the coding for the actual .m3u8 URL and liveFeed. That's what I've not been able to find. Otherwise I am hunting/guessing and though my json is valid Roku gives me the error every time.

Just click 'Content Object' above it, it'll send you down to its link showing the below for the 'Content' field:
{ "dateAdded": "2019-11-11T22:21:37+00:00", "videos": [ { url: "https://mnmedias.api.telequebec.tv/m3u8/29880.m3u8", quality: "HD", videoType: "MP4" } ], duration: 3600, captions: [ ], adBreaks: ["00:15:00", "00:30:00", "00:45:00"], language: "en", "trickPlayFiles": [ ... ], }
JohnLocke1 Are you sure that you do not have any logic errors in your feed file? If you are using Json linters to check for errors, they won't catch logic errors. A similar post from mitchstein indicated a possible problem with the actual feed file.
