Re: HOW DO YOU TO SET UP EPISODES IN A SERIES/SEASON FOR CONTINUOUS PLAY?

Hi @CARTOONBLAST ,

Its very hard to do it by hand, below is a sample JSON feed with mini-series.


Check out our OTTfeed.com platform if you are looking for a robust solution to manage your content feed, it will save you a lot of time and frustration coding and debugging the feed. 

Here is a sample JSON with series (mini-series):

Do you know how to write code? (I don't know any coders that write in all caps)

If you don't know how to write json, learn to use one of the tools some of the posters here have written that writes the json for you.  There is one called json feed manager, and some others.
