I’m getting an error on feed status when trying to setup vimeo showcase with DP. I can access the url in a browser/postman and the json looks valid. Also, the settings in vimeo showcase allow “Anyone” access.
Are you aware there are some ongoing problems with using Vimeo as a streaming host? Take a look at some of the other posts in this forum. Are you plagued by the same problem(s)?
It seems they may have tentatively fixed the issue, but it’s not working for ingesting new feeds. There was a glitch with all Vimeo videos not showing about 2-3 weeks ago, which was fixed. I just tried updating my feed last night and now all my videos are down again.
Gets harder every day. I sent an email off to partner success. I wouldn’t expect a till late in the week/maybe next week sometime. I’d suggest email partnersuccess@roku.com. I’ll try and keep posted here & see if I can get clarification if we should hold off on updated feeds. Myb keeping the same feed url, just changing whats in that json file is the way to do it. I’d been always submitting a new feed each time, I feel that keeps things concise.
I’m having the same problem. I created a new channel last night, and the Vimeo feed still isn’t registering. It’s weird that the “refresh date” is 12/31/1969 at 6:00pm. That definitely seems like a backend problem.
same issue here. Have been testing a new channel for the past couple weeks without and issue and today all vimeo links wouldn’t register. Hopefully issue is resolved soon. I will continue to work blind until there is a solution. Glad I’m not the only one. I was going crazy all morning!
Just a heads up, if you’re not already doing so or not aware, you can semi-‘test’ your json coding thru jsonlint.com, and it will let you know if your coding is proper. Worth doing after each show/movie/item.
Granted, it won’t let you know if it matches Roku’s schema per se, or if its the right video/thumbnail etc, but at least tests for things like missing comma’s & brackets etc, although you’re editor likely also notifies you of things like that. Just thought I’d mention it.
Let me add to what @37mediagroup posted. The software I wrote to manage feed files contains a function to “validate” your feed file for not only syntactical correctness, but, for logic errors that a linter will not catch. And, it’s free.
