XML error in server URL for monetization

My VAST tag works correctly in the Ad Server URL, but in the Developer URL it throws the error below.

How do I fix this?

The server URL could not be validated. The server returned unrecognized XML. Was expecting <VAST ...> or <
vmap:VMAP ... version="1.xx">.
Thanks in advance

Re: XML error in server URL for monetization

one of the reasons for the error can be that the feed has nothing in it - it is empty - 

the other ...  well for me it looks a bit strange  - i use lots of add feeds but none of them as "long" and complicated as yours 🙂 

 

if you want an official point of view  i would ask Roku dev support

Appreciate that.

This is the second company that has given me a feed that doesn't work.

Is there a sample somewhere?

I keep sending them to the configuration page, and they seem to not understand how to properly configure a VAST tag for Roku.

Ah... This is not our direct inventory, this is a provider who fills our inventory for us.

They would like to see a sample of a working tag, with a sample ad.

Re: XML error in server URL for monetization

if they are a serious provider they must know what is the accepted format on Roku - if they don't know - well ....
