My channel is build as a Direct Publisher, the videos are being hosted in Vimeo

 

Here you can take a look to the JSON feed: https://kybatvjson.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/kybatvrokufeed.json

 

Publishing Checklist is Completed Succesfully, not showing erros. but the videos don't appear in the channel.

 

I will really appreciate any help.

    You have not defined categories in your feed file for the tags you've specified. Did you define categories in the developer portal?

        If you haven't resolved this problem, you should consider defining your categories in the feed file.  Defining them in the feed file means you have only one place to manage your feed file.  And, if I remember correctly, defining them in the developer's portal can be somewhat klugy.
