Roku Direct Publisher

[sattun]

Roku Direct Publisher supports the HLS live stream format, so the first step is get your live stream distribution url, this url should contain .m3u8 extension, something like this url: https://playlist.ottfeed.com/live/master.m3u8?channel=GCUGbgJZalE6XOuIzJVV

The next step is to add it to your JSON content feed in to “liveFeeds” key, here is a sample JSON feed with one live stream.
