LiveFeed URL Not Working

Archived
1

Hi,
I can’t seem to get my Roku channel working properly. It keeps returning this error “Required Video URL is Unreachable”. This URL plays properly when pasted in a browser. It’s a URL to a livefeed in Vimeo.
Please help, I seem stuck.

Are you grabbing the correct URL?

It’s not just the vimeo.com/video/3123464789 or whatever. You’ll need to click on Settings > Distribution > Video File Links and grab the HTTP Live Streaming link. I’ve never done Vimeo Live tho, but just making sure your on that track, I belive it should have a .m3u8 in it.

I have been waiting for my new json URL feed to be ingested for over 24 hours. Never had to wait this long.

Hey all. I’m having the exact same problem with the exact same error message. The only thing blocking me from publishing my channel is my Feed status.

What is the fix here?

I haven’t worked with Vimeo Live in a few months, but last I checked it was impossible to use any other player as it didn’t offer the HLS links. They probably require you to go with Vimeo OTT in order to use it.

I got to use Livestream.com. I got the the URL for the livestream by using this link

/viewing_info
The error is gone and the channel has been successfully published.
Thanks guys!

Vimeo’s Live Stream package doesn’t support an HLS feed while the feed is live. To get that, you must have access to their API which is part of their Enterprise offering.

Can you give a complete json example of the liveFeed code?
