Nobody on this forum is gonna debug code.

This needs to be in Developers

Your code is really bad. Please ensure it passes https://jsonlint.com prior to asking others for assistance. You closed out Short Form Videos with the ending bracket ] after bitrate of video 1 which is why only 1 video likely showed. It also didn’t have an opening bracket for ID; 0002, also likely had too many closing brackets at the end too but the thing was a mess. I fixed it below.

Thanks for checking. I’m new to JSON scripting. I have updated my script and ingested it successfully. I’ll post back here when I see my results.
