Testing Subscription Channel Process?

Jump to solution

I'm trying to test my own subscription channel. I saw a page to add test users but trying to figure out the process. 

Once I add my email as a test user, and have the channel sideloaded, how do I test it to see if the channel subscription is working and make sure the channel is playing properly?

I made some changes to the subscription channel, which has already been in the Roku store for a while but as far as loading the channel to see if the videos are playing properly, I guess I need to be a test user to test the channel? Just trying to make sure the changes I made to the channel package are working and that the channel is not "broken" before submitting the new changes.

Someone helped me with the channel in the beginning when I was first approved in the channel store so I'm trying to figure out how to test it after I made some changes to the main.brs and manifest file.

Thank you.

It's been a while since I've used billing testing, so I don't remember the details.

Thanks to you sending that I re-read it and had missed going to the channel summary and then options to choose the "designate for testing" option. After doing that, it started playing when I went back to the sideloaded channel.

Thank you.
