Playlist doesnt show on roku after adding channel
Using sample feed given by roku and online author says was successful to test. Playlist will not display no matter what i do.
Forum Discussion
The sample feed has some errors. If you inspect the Playlist object in the feed, you'll see that some of the ids are incorrect. For example, the playlist specifies a content id of "video8-detailsScreen-part1", but, there's no content object with that id. This seems to be a simple case of manually coding the feed file and not paying attention to detail.
Incorrect ids will not display.
Here is the feed after adjusting to my needs. It ingests fine, but again, it doesn't display playlist. It refreshes and I have removed and added station again to no luck.

}I'm not sure of the timing of your changes, but, be aware that Roku does not update your feed immediately. It may take upwards of 6 hours to take affect.
It has now gone much more than 6 hours and still nothing. Let me ask this, if the video I am using is coming from my own website (direct link) and is a mp4 file, the url I am using is the url to that file (https://www.feetontherock.org/seminars/Anatomy_4.mp4). I use that url in a browser and the player comes up and plays it. I am using video type (from feed). Am I missing something there? Do I need another streamer like vimeo? Maybe that is why it isn't loading...??
