Roku Direct Publisher

this is the URL I provided on the step requiring a content feed in Direct Publisher:

https://cuddlesaur-adventures.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Herbie+2.json

I keep getting an error (200) when I try to validate.  Whats wrong with this feed URL?

Hi @AaronMSpelling  - Thanks for your reply. 

Will it be possible for you to walk me through adding my own channel from start to finish?  I'm using #AwS CloudFront as my CDN, but i'm open to suggestions and not totally sold on CloudFront

Seems it might be a privacy setting or allowing access. Are you able to paste your json code in a comment?  Otherwise, host the file on Google Drive or Dropbox so we can view it. Be sure to comb your code thru jsonlint.com, while it doesn't check for logic or accuracy it will check code structure/syntax. Although it doesn't sound like code is your issue.

Hi @37mediagroup, Thx for your post.  I figured it all out so didn’t use the Json.

I went with Vimeo as my CDN Solution and gave Direct Publisher the URL and it worked fine with no issues.
