Roku Direct Publisher

[tariqinam]

Hi,
we have added a live stream (which has 3 hr dvr) to our feed. On playback it plays from start of DVR rather than from live point.

I have tried setting duration to very high or low,, but it didn't help.
can someone help with this.

Has anyone able to resolve this. We still see video playback start with 3 hours rewind rather than current time.

You need to use livefeeds key/type in your JSON feed, and your livestream needs to be active when Roku server is Ingesting your feed, otherwise it will be rejected (we have a solution for this issue DM me for more info).

Here is a sample:

"liveFeeds": [{
        "id": "GCUGbgJZalE6XOuIzJVV"
        , "title": "OTTfeed"
        , "content": {
            "dateAdded": "2021-01-23T17:20:46+00:00"
            , "videos": [{
                "url": "https://playlist.ottfeed.com/live/master.m3u8?channel=GCUGbgJZalE6XOuIzJVV"
                , "quality": "FHD"
                , "videoType": "HLS"
            }]
            , "language": "en-US"
        }
        , "thumbnail": "https://ottfeed.com/GCUGbgJZalE6XOuIzJVV/OTTfeed-live-image.png"
        , "shortDescription": "All-in-one feed management system for Roku Direct Publisher, Roku Channel and custom OTT apps"

        , "tags": ["ottfeed", "live"]
        , "rating": {
