Hi,

My HLS link not working in Roku. I tested this link to Roku Stream/RAF Tester Tool and on that tools link is working fine. But when I enter this link to feed URL its shown me an error. 

Error message:

The server returned an unsupported content type. Was expecting 'application/rss+xml', 'text/xml', 'application/xml' or 'application/json' but received 'application/vnd.apple.mpegurl'.

Now how can I solve it? I search it to google and got that the JSON file is needed for the feed URL. Could you please anyone share with me any simple JSON file? I have only 1 HLS link and I need to play that.

Thanks

You can find what you need by reading the JSON Schema document and the DP Quick Start Guide.

Hey I am having this problem too, and maybe I haven't read enough about it but I did try to hack together a JSON for the live stream like so: 

{
	"providerName": "SheffieldLive!",
	"language": "en-UK",
	"lastUpdated": "2020-03-15T02:01:00+02:00",
	"liveFeeds": {
		"id": "00112233445566",
		"title": "SheffieldLive!",
		"content": {
			"dateAdded": "2020-10-27T22:21:37+00:00",
			"videos": [{
				"url": "http://tv.sheffieldlive.org/hls/main.m3u8",
				"quality": "SD",
				"videoType": "MP4"
			}],
			"duration": 3600,
			"captions": "",
			"language": "en"
		},
		"language": "en",
		"thumbnail": "http://tv.sheffieldlive.org/sheffliveident.jpg",
		"brandedThumbnail": "http://tv.sheffieldlive.org/sheffliveident.jpg",
		"shortDescription": "SheffieldLive!",
		"longDescription": "SheffieldLive! TV Stream",
		"tags": [
			"linear",
			"news",
			"local"
		]
	}
}

Now the DP says there is an 'Unknown error' when I click save.

Does anyone have a template file to simply add this as a live stream? I feel that would benefit the community broadcasters widely!

Many thanks!

@mattjarvis Take a look at the Root Object Example in the JSON feed schema. You'll see that the 'liveFeeds' object is an array.  You've got a syntax error because you coded it as a string.
