Re: Generate Direct Publisher JSON feeds with Wordpress

Wow Rovidx!  It's good to see you're back.  I found your post today.

I'm an old Rovidx customer (from the Wask build a few years ago.)  So my question is...I've built this huge XML according to the WASK feed format, and as you know this is not a typical, valid feed.  It's missing some elements (there's no duration or length etc etc.)

1.) Could someone suggest some software for converting an existing MRSS feed to the JSON feed that Rovidx (and Roku Direct Pub) requires?

2.)  On a semi-related note, I'm anxious to find out how to use AD ID's like Amazon Ads, or Admob with Rovidx (and/or Roku Direct Publisher.)

Hey Dean!  

1)  Unless you have the skills to code a custom importer, there is no way to currently do this.  Plus you will need all the relevant information or DP will throw errors.

2)  It works with any VAST/VPAID compatible feed.   Last I checked Amazon Ads where only banner/text ads, so none of those would work.   I've tested it with DoubleClick for Publishers and it works great.

Re: Generate Direct Publisher JSON feeds with Wordpress

Rats, a Rovidx Plug In Install Error!

This is what I get when I try to install Rovidx to my newly updated wordpress.org site: 
Fatal error: Can't use function return value in write context in /home/zdean/metrofilmfestival.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-smart-tv/lib/rovidx-smart-tv-roku-dfp.phpon line 245

Re: Generate Direct Publisher JSON feeds with Wordpress

1.) Hi Rob, I'm sorry to say that I did the update, and then I tried to activate it and got Fatal error: Can't use function return value in write context in...
 /wp-content/plugins/wp-smart-tv/lib/rovidx-smart-tv-roku-dfp.phpon line 220

2.) I then tried to start fresh.  So I deleted the Plugin, and uploaded the new version.   I got the same line 220 error.  

YIPES!

Hey Rob, In addition to my last post with the error... /wp-content/plugins/wp-smart-tv/lib/rovidx-smart-tv-roku-dfp.phpon line 220
