Roku Direct Publisher

[AmazingD]

Stream worked fine till 18 July 2023, now you can open stream - it works for a second and then shuts down

there was no changes to liveFeed section, stream link is still valid and playable in any HLS player. Could someone help please

My liveFeeds section setup doesn't throw any errors or warnings on roku feedlog:

The following thread has been going since July 14th so you have more information.

In summary...it would seem Roku has dropped support for live streaming in DP channels without notification.

Try adding a genres array to your liveFeed object. The documentation says it's not required but adding it to my JSON immediately worked.

"genres": [
    "fashion",
    "romance",
    "technology",
  ]

@matt-wright86 thanks for the idea...I still have one DP channel remaining so I'm trying it out.

Adding genres did not fix it for me.  Live Streams still not working. 

fwiw...I did start the process beforehand to convert the channel to sdk but have yet to publish the sdk version yet.

we have been converting many direct publisher channels to sdk and found many of those channels had the same issue but resolved when converted to sdk!

Its true they stopped supporting livestreaming in DP!
