Roku Developer Program

I'm fairly new to the Roku Channel world and hired a free lancer to build my channel. He disappeared without leaving behind a "how to update" the channel checklist and now I'm pulling out both of my remaining hairs trying to figure out why I keep getting an error when I input the updated JSON file.

The error message from Roku is simple (see screen shot) but it doesn't help me decipher the error.

Is there anyone willing/able to take a look at the JSON file and see if you detect any errors?

My process was to copy/paste/replace existing code, dropping in the update info from Vimeo, so it's entirely possible I made a mistake in some way I can't diagnose.

I'm not please with the difficulty in trying to update the channel, so if someone has advice on a better way, I'm all ears. Thanks

It appears you put the framerate for the bitrate could be one of the problems.
                       "bitRate": 59.94

Is that the issue in the code for the new video at line 681 or are you seeing it elsewhere?

I thought I had copied from the other successful video uploads. Appreciate the insight and hope it’s somethint simple like you’re suggesting.

It appears all your bitrates are framerates.  But that's probably not the main problem.

The channel has been working fine until today when I tried to update it with the addition of a new video. The Topgolf Detroit video at line 681 is the problem but I can't figure out why.

I have a fresh JSON feed and it shows no errors...but my video doesn't appear on the channel. Sigh.

JSON Feed

I'm not sure you're still looking for help, but, I found your post and used the software I wrote to validate your feed file.  You have several problems with the 'bitRate' field on your shortFormVideos.  They are actually integers and not 'float' values.  For future reference, your feed file is representative of a Direct Publisher channel.  Here's the errors I found:
