Updates for a Live Channel...deep linking help

 

I read this:

liveLive linear stream.Play the live linear stream identified by the contentId.

Live linear streams and replays of live broadcast streams are exempt from deep linking certification requirements.

 

So, my channel is a live channel. Once customer signs up for the subscription it goes directly to the live stream so there are no contentId's. Can't submit a channel when the deep linking is in red with exclamation mark. What do I need to change or add to a live channel to be able to submit the new updates? This channel has already been approved and in channel store awhile. I had to do updates and but cannot submit changes with the deep linking in red.

 

Do I make a change in this code somewhere:

Function getDeepLinks(args) as Object
deeplink = Invalid

if args.contentid <> Invalid and args.mediaType <> Invalid
deeplink = {
id: args.contentId
type: args.mediaType
}
end if

return deeplink
end Function

Thank you for any help!

  • Well, I went to the deep linking section to update the channel. I clicked "live" and I added the stream url to the content Id space and clicked "add".

    It seems it made the deep linking section go from red to a check mark.

    Not if sure if that is what is suppose to happen using a stream url but it worked so that I am now showing no errors and apparently am cleared to submit the changes.
