Roku Direct Publisher

[mmahoney]

Hello,
I am getting an error in direct publisher saying that there is duplicate IDs in the feed. The issue is, I cannot find what ID they're referring to or what it means.

Please look at the picture in this link as the board would not let me insert

Thank you,

Please post your feed file. I can validate it using software I have written.

I'm not sure how you created your feed file, but, there are some problems with it.  The software found the following:

Cannot deserialize the current JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) into type 'RokuJsonFeedManager.TrickPlayFilesObject[]' because the type requires a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) to deserialize correctly.
To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) or change the deserialized type so that it is a normal .NET type (e.g. not a primitive type like integer, not a collection type like an array or List<T>) that can be deserialized from a JSON object. JsonObjectAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON object.

I think they may be caused by a stray bracket "{}[]" of some kind.  I can't tell because your file seems to be one long string.  It's difficult to read.  Additionally, a quick scan did show that you do have duplicate ids: for example '3014'.

Thank you for the quick response, I will attempt to investigate further and reply back to you with an update. 
Thank you again

My developer is getting this same error and said it’s cause of duplicates in Vimeo but they’re all different videos. Did you find a solution to this?

[37mediagroup]

As Aaron Spelling said, this sounds highly unlikely to be Vimeo's problem.  Chances are, your developer is copying & pasting the shows or movies, and just 'replacing' the name, url, thumbnail etc. And on occasion forgetting to change the ID (from something like 0017 to 0018 etc)
