Playback of channel missing, even if in preview it is looking good

I am encountering a strange issue, the test feed is validated and in the preview menu the feed/video  is looking as it must be. But, after the channel is added in the Roku instead of the menu and the video stream I have only the "Search" and "About" buttons and not the playable video stream.

 The feed was edited in the Json Feed Manager 2.0.3.0.

  The simple test feed is the following:

{
"lastUpdated": "2021-06-18T09:06:04+00:00",
"providerName": "TestTV",
"language": "en-US",
"liveFeeds": [

}
],
"duration": 86395,
"validityPeriodEnd": "2022-08-31T20:29:52+00:00"
},

}

{

}
],
"playlists": [
{
"name": "Test TV",
"itemIds": [
"795b92398f9d4923a3a066e13477dba0"
]
}
]
}

The published channel is like bellow. 

Honestly I don't know where to start debugging this problem, I'm out of ideas. Did happened to someone this kind of situation?

Re: Playback of channel missing, even if in preview it is looking good

This is for a channel you are creating/developing?

If so, you've posted to a forum for Roku users, where few, if any, will be able to help. The Developers forums are a couple of doors down the hall:  https://community.roku.com/t5/Developers/ct-p/channel-developers
