I am having these errors on my roku app:

Channel Deep Linking Basic  
Error

Channel Content Play Performance

However when I go to the app on a roku source it plays back fine. Is this an roku problem or am i missing something on the programing?

You’re missing something in the certification criteria:

I use Vimeo and instanttv. I currently use the free plan in instanttv but wanted to start running ads. Which process do you use? Maybe there is a bug in there system.
