Direct publisher not loading 2022

Hello - new here! 

I'm trying to build a new channel, I have all the info and links but when loading the channel nothing shows apart from the search and about buttons. 

Currently we are using the example json link and images.

Any help would be appreciated

Re: Direct publisher not loading 2022

Hello - thank you for your response! 

I'm not sure what you mean by Video ID - we are using the sample file at the moment to see how this all works - i can the last updated date and time in the JSON file but I'm not sure if this is what you are talking about

Re: Direct publisher not loading 2022

right okay? but change it to what? - in the sample file provided by Roku there are 85 videos. so I need to change them one by one?

Re: Direct publisher not loading 2022

We've tried using the direct publisher feed sample directly (https://devtools.web.roku.com/samples/roku-developers-feed-v1-rdp.json) and even that gives the kiss of death screen. Is the platform dead?

Re: Direct publisher not loading 2022

I have the same problem. I opened a ticket with Roku Support weeks ago and never got any help.

I don't understand why they say they support this capability when it obviously doesn't work. Even the sample json feed they provide does not work. Is direct publisher dead? Are we supposed to use the sdk only? What is going on?
