New Roku Feed

[gbrn]

@DanielnetoDotCom Danny, I don't know if you know, but Roku is changing and one of the big changes for us will be the following. I think now is the time to improve the platform implementation with ROKU:

So now anyone who wants a channel on Roku will have to program an application. The template they suggest migrating can also be used with the Roku JSON Feed.

I verified that the thumbnail images generated in the AVIDEO platform Feed were changed from the horizontal pattern to the vertical pattern. As a result, Roku's default images are loaded in the wrong format. Look:

Here at this url you have specification details for Content Feed: https://developer.roku.com/pt-br/docs/developer-program/getting-started/content-feed.md https://developer.roku.com/pt-br/docs/specs/search/search-feed.md

Hi, I guess the ROKU feed will be useless, you will need to develop the direct ROKU app, to be able to publish your videos on it.

@DanielnetoDotCom Yes, "Direct Publisher" will no longer work from January 12th. ROKU recommends migrating "Direct Publisher" APPs by converting them into an APP through the SDK. And they provide a functional, easy-to-implement model, which can be viewed at this URL: https://developer.roku.com/pt-br/docs/direct-publisher/rdp-sdk-coversion-guide.md

So this model uses ROKU's standard JSON. Applications for ROKU work directly with JSON. What I wanted to inform you in the post above is that today JSON ROKU formatted by AVIDEO is not fully compatible with ROKU. I can help with testing.

Please check these URLs for ROKU JSON Feed standards: https://developer.roku.com/pt-br/docs/specs/direct-publisher-feed-specs/json-dp-spec.md https://developer.roku.com/pt-br/docs/specs/search/search-feed.md

@DanielnetoDotCom OK, I'll check about Roku Search, if I have any doubts I'll open a new issue.

Now another question that I haven't tested yet, using the HLS Plugin, how will the Roku Feed work? Because in the feed, the URLs of the videos are loaded in .MP4 format. Can you tell me?

[DanielnetoDotCom]

HLS may work also
