Credits in Direct Publisher

I'm trying to get credits working, but it doesn't show up anywhere in the app or the preview.   I've tried a few different approaches and none have worked.   From my feed:
"credit":[{  
            "name":"Jane Doe",
            "role":"host",
            "birthDate":"2014-01-15"
         }]


Does anyone have a working example?

Yup, same problem here.  I've tried it on Movies and Series with no luck.  Very strange since it appears on Roku's Channel.  Must be some subtle difference or a hack that Roku uses.

It would be really great if RokuCo could release a sample feed with all the objects in place.   Might make it easier for us to figure out the ropes of DP.

They have, to some degree. It's in their JSON spec. I think it's more likely that the DP portal or the firmware on the box has a bug. At times, I get the feeling that Roku is using us to test the DP portal. In some ways, the whole thing doesn't seem like it was fully tested.
