New to Roku! I have plublished my channel but it does not play the content? why

My content shows up on screen but my channel does not play the content?How do I fix this?

 

I have tried re-plublishing my channel several time. I can see on my device and TV but it does not allow the content to play!

There are two things to check if your content shows on the device but does not play. 

Make sure the urls are correct in your feed file.

Make sure the video content is declared "public" on the server you are using.

URL are passing the connected test on the published page. I did cancel and re-publish the page again and the viewer are everyone. I am streaming from Vimeo, if that help!

There have been lots of complaints about using Vimeo as a content host. I believe that includes what to use as a url when hosting on Vimeo.  I don't use Vimeo.

You'll need to scan this forum for other posts that address this issue. In particular, there are posts that indicate the correct Vimeo url to use when creating your feed file.

@BlaqCardProd 

Are you using showcase to create the JSON file? Can you share your feed or one video URL?
