Roku Direct Publisher

Anyone else ready to give up?  My other channel, which so far has escaped "the bug" had a new version published today (after waiting the required time) so I get the email, yaaaay (it was a major update) message the client "its published"...they send back, no its not.  What???   Sure enough, its not changed.  Preview shows the new version, the TV does not. 

Of course, now the status feed says  Still processing...

If you got the nessage that it updated you should of checked the channel on your device before contacting your cklient, Also sometimes you and ur client have to check for updates on the device!

I went through it and when I updated the device I seen my updates and had to get my client to do the same because if you don't check your device for updates you will wait another week or two!

I have published my channel twice now with no change.  Still the old version.   I can update the contents of my feed and new shows are available.  But the categories are all the old ones.  Weird

I had this issue - what worked for me was checking the channel categories in Roku developer portal. I changed evrything to categories from feed and removed custom feed categories! I then refred feed status! Note in feed status there was a link for PREVIEW and Publish version of feed! The puiblished version showed the old fdeed. When I chyangerd my categories to make it cdategories from feed and saved then refrehed a day later it updated!

If you waqnt your from feed back it's easy. First go to properties and re enter all info on page like pick country to publish to the enter the info on right like TOS, and other info and click save. the go to feed url and click save then go to categories and you should now see Categories from fee!
