Baradanikto, you have no idea how much you made my life easier.. I was using Jwplayer to host the .RSS and .JSON but due to significant changes in the business model new channels feeds are auto blocked unless you are paid subscriber. This is a great alternative.

Now the other problem was Wordpress blocked by .json from being pulled as a program it was registered as a .txt of XML which royally confuses the ingestion process. I am in the process of testing a new CMS which i will report my finding later from Concrete 5. Meantime here is an easy solution.
If you are not registered with Github, you should.
Follow the instructions to create a new repository and then goto
https://pages.github.com/ to follow and build a starter homepage this just creates a basic index.html that says I joined GitHub Pages.
Next, you will upload your .json that you created from “Json Feed Manager For Direct Publisher”, to obtain the file directly goto your Document folder and open the folder that says “Json Feed Manager” here you will find a file named (feed.json) you must upload this into the respository you created for your Github Page.. Now assuming you did as instructed it will look something like this.
https://github.com/scrambledbliss/scrambledbliss.github.io this my Github for Pages
this is the outcome.
https://scrambledbliss.github.io/feed.json
In my experience, this has been flawless and super fast.
Good luck in your adventure, I’m still trying to summarize the process of my experience for those on a budget as well.
Ps. I’m thinking as a thank you I will add you as an “Unknown Ad” it will direct the user to your github page and show them a mini video how to use the product. Thank you, soo much for making life a little easier!
on a side note, my channel like everyone else is awaiting approval after the holidays.
BUT, again, I have a bypass that have released to my viewers and now i will remind you as well.
If and when you succeed in uploading your feed to Roku, choose section “Layout” pick from one of the two and and hit save. this will give you a temporary channel code. JOT IT DOWN or copy and paste somewhere.
For you or anyone else to access your channel perform this task.
https://my.roku.com/account/add now here you will paste that code you were given and click on I’m not a robot. This will auto add the channel to your ROKU which is a live feed vs. waiting. Two things, one if you are using the Roku Ad Network, it will not display YET until you are approved. Second, you will have to be in contact with your viewers to let them know to switch over to the official channel later. Again, this is my Christmas bypass for you.
Scrambled Bliss is using the temp channel code “QGJTGT”
