Roku Direct Publisher

[CMandT]

Hello - new here! 

I'm trying to build a new channel, I have all the info and links but when loading the channel nothing shows apart from the search and about buttons. 

Currently we are using the example json link and images.

Any help would be appreciated 

[CMandT]

Hello - thank you for your response! 

I'm not sure what you mean by Video ID - we are using the sample file at the moment to see how this all works - i can the last updated date and time in the JSON file but I'm not sure if this is what you are talking about 

[CMandT]

right okay? but change it to what? - in the sample file provided by Roku there are 85 videos. so I need to change them one by one?

ive just opened our JSON file and there is no Video ID's

We've tried using the direct publisher feed sample directly (https://devtools.web.roku.com/samples/roku-developers-feed-v1-rdp.json) and even that gives the kiss of death screen. Is the platform dead?

I have the same problem. I opened a ticket with Roku Support weeks ago and never got any help.

I don't understand why they say they support this capability when it obviously doesn't work. Even the sample json feed they provide does not work. Is direct publisher dead? Are we supposed to use the sdk only? What is going on?

[CMandT]

i dont know - it seams they are having a lot of issues 

[CMandT]

 @roku can someone please get back to me on why this is happening - its been a few days now and nothing is working
