Facing an issue with the Roku direct publisher feed?

I am creating the JSON feed for one live HLS stream.

Here is my JSON feed.

 

{
  "providerName": "Provider Name",
  "language": "en",
  "country": "US",
  "content": {
    "dateAdded": "2023-12-15T00:00:00Z",
    "movies": [
      {
        "title": "Live Stream",
        "content": {
          "dateAdded": "2023-12-15T00:00:00Z",
          "videos": [
            {
              "url": "https://liveStreamurl.com/test.m3u8",
              "quality": "HD",
              "videoType": "HLS"
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

 


I uploaded this JSON on Roku Direct Publisher. But it shows under-processing. Like below

Can anyone suggest what was wrong here?. Is there any field missing from my JSON?

Re: Facing an issue with the Roku direct publisher feed?

Are you aware that Direct Publisher is in the process of being sunsetted? It is minimally supported and due to be removed in January 2024.

Additionally, it appears you are using a "Movie" object with a live stream.  DP does support LiveStream objects.  More importantly, your file syntax is incorrect.  Please see the Direct Publisher (JSON) spec for more info.

FREE Windows desktop software for converting Direct Publisher channels to SceneGraph (SDK), for creating BIF (Trick Play) files, Roku (MRSS, JSON) feed files, and FireTV feed files @ GitHub/rrirower.
