      I get a validation Red Exclamation point on the Feed Status, so I trimmed down the JSON to the following (I should mention that this is a Liner Feed, that ideally would start to play once the channel is selected but I am unsure on how to code that in JSON) 

      {
	"providerName": "RockinghamUpdate",
	"language": "en-US",
	"lastUpdated": "2016-10-06T18:12:32.125Z",
	"shortFormVideos": [{
		"id": "fd",
		"title": "News Shorts And Municipal Meetings",
		"shortDescription": "News Shorts and Municipal Meetings From the Rockingham County, NC Area",
		"thumbnail": "https://www.rceno.com/RCENO/images/400-90-RU.jpg",
		"genres": [
			"news"
		],
		"tags": [
			"broadcasts",
			"live"
		],
		"releaseDate": "2020-02-11",
		"content": {
			"dateAdded": "2020-02-11T14:14:54.431Z",
			"captions": [

			],
			"videos": [{

			}]
		}
	}]
}

        Sometimes the red exclamation means it's still processing, and if you click into it, there's a Refresh button you can press. Otherwise might take 3-5 minutes but sometimes longer. (Although, maybe its an orange marker, not red, I forget).  Anyway, generally if it is an error when it says "84 lines ingested, 1 error" or whatever you can click the < before the "1 error" part and it acts as a drop down. When it drops down it typically describes the error in more detail.
