Roku Direct Publisher

[davidskato]

The video and background shows on my preview on the developer's page but when i go to the channel on the roku device it just shows the background. no video. No selection nothing. Just the background. All of my sections to complete are checked. I tried this with a mrss feed as well as a json feed and still the exact same issue. Has anyone else encountered this and could give some direction?

Thanks,
David

Sounds like a problem in your feed file. If I were to guess, I'd check for a valid category for your video. Post your feed file if you want further inspection.

I have a similar issue. My preview shows a list of videos, but the channel has about and search links that don't work. I checked my categories they seem to be fine.

I have a feed url from Vimeo. How do I find feed file?

I'm encountering the same issue, on preview looks good, the Feed Status is not returning any error but on the Roku device I can see only the "empty" channel, just the basic template.

Bellow is the json script, maybe it can help, there are two channels and two categories (movie and children):

I'm encountering the same situation, on preview looks good, but on the Roku device it won't show anything but the Search and the About menu which are both "dead". 

For information purposes I am showing bellow my Json script, maybe it could be helpful if the problem really is on my side.  The Feed Status check didn't returned any error.
