MyJson not working. Can't get it to work.

I have had a Roku channel for a few years now.  I have the Json script but myjson.com isn't working.  I copied my script and put it in Code Beautify.  I downloaded the script and loaded it to my website.  I loaded the new address to Roku but it says, "The server returned a non-200 status code - (301)."  What do I do?

Re: MyJson not working. Can't get it to work.

Hard to know what your problem may be without seeing your feed file.  However, I would guess that your problem is related to accessing your feed file.  It's either a problem with permissions, or, where the file is located.

Re: MyJson not working. Can't get it to work.

I'm having the same issue... same error. I'm using the same process to update and I can't get it to work. In my feed, I have one file that's HLS and the others are MP4 files. When I click the question mark next to Video Format, it says "During beta, mixed video formats in the same feed are not supported." Is this new? How am I supposed to test to make sure my feed will work?

I wasn't aware of this, however if so could you try beta testing using your VOD/.mp4 urls, then re-test using only the live/.m3u8?

 

Then once you know both work submit your feed?

Re: MyJson not working. Can't get it to work.

That didn't make a difference. HOWEVER... our IT guys recently updated our server to be HTTPS instead of HTTP. My url was going to HTTP. When I changed it to HTTPS, I no longer received that error message. It seems like an odd correlation, but that is literally the only difference between the two feed URLs I tried to submit. So - for me at least - problem solved. Thanks.

Re: MyJson not working. Can't get it to work.

Actually, it makes perfect sense per the Roku schema:

The URL of the video itself. The URL must use the secure protocol prefix "https://".
