RAF integration throws and error #45

Closed wajidbux closed 8 months ago

wajidbux commented 9 months ago

Hi Michael I have been testing your D2P SGW and I must say you have done a fantastic job. Everything works perfectly well but I ran into an error while trying to implement RAF in my project. the error is shown below error-wizard my feed URL https://mangatv.dreamhosters.com/roku.json

My vast Tag https://tag.targeting.unrulymedia.com/rmp/215278/0/vast3?devId=ROKU_ADS_TRACKING_ID&w=ROKU_ADS_DISPLAY_WIDTH&h=ROKU_ADS_DISPLAY_HEIGHT&appbundle=ROKU_ADS_APP_ID&appname=MangaTv&appid=ROKU_ADS_APP_ID&useragent=ROKU_ADS_USER_AGENT&appstoreurl=https://channelstore.roku.com/details/74ee7ec3bfa16bcad8c368cd7f229dc8&cntlen=ROKU_ADS_CONTENT_LENGTH&dnt=ROKU_ADS_LIMIT_TRACKING&timestamp=ROKU_ADS_TIMESTAMP ( this tag i have been using this in DP for more than 3 years and there has been no such problem.) Hope you find the time to look into it. Thank you in advance and keep up the good work.

What version are you running? Please look into main.brs at the top.

rrirower commented 9 months ago

I think I may know what the problem is. The code makes a call to get your ad pods and receives nothing. I'm not sure why that is. I'll need to dig deeper.

rrirower commented 9 months ago

Ad server URLs without macros work fine. I'm not sure, but, I think I may need the values of the macros in your server url so that they can be substituted at run time.

wajidbux commented 9 months ago

What version are you running? Please look into main.brs at the top.

' BrightScript code version 1.0.0.0-alpha-7.3 ' https://github.com/rrirower

forgive my ignorance I'm a novice with very little programming skills but good with the computer. What Values do you require? do you need the raw file given by the advertising firm?

rrirower commented 9 months ago

I'm not sure. But, it may help to see what they gave you. I'm just not sure why the URL does not work as is.

If they gave you any instructions, I'd like a peek at that also.

Insert URL parameter macros as per Roku documentation.

rrirower commented 9 months ago

Thanks. I'll let you know when I have a resolution.

I should be the one thanking you for taking the time to find a resolution.

Can you ask your ad provider if the url they provided you will work with client-side ad stitching?

wajidbux commented 9 months ago

I believe it is for client-side since I have been using these tags with direct publisher for more than 3 years now.

rrirower commented 9 months ago

I downloaded the Roku Stream Tester app and ran it with some ad server URLs. They worked fine. When I loaded your ad server URL it did not return any ads. I think you should contact the ad server company and explain the issue to them.

And till such time ads are not showing I will keep getting an error and will be unable to package it to upload. I have contacted the ad server company now I have to wait several days for a response from them. By the way, when will your subscription model be available to test and use?

rrirower commented 9 months ago

Funny you should ask. I'm looking for someone to help with that. I have no plans to convert my channel. I contacted Roku and asked if I could set up a test user for subscriptions and they told me I had to go through the process of setting up monetization. It's too involved for me especially since I'm not converting.

So, I was going to post on the forum looking for a user who could set up a test user for me. There's no time frame on subscriptions until I get help.

I have many test accounts and I am happy to help at any time but the subscription model is greyed out no matter how much I try to toggle it on it does not work so I assumed you had disabled the function, adding a screenshot below. sub

rrirower commented 9 months ago

Yes, it is disabled until the code is in place. I appreciate your offer. I may take you up on it after I get the next release out hopefully this weekend.

Happy to help, let me know when the code is ready.

ferdiworks commented 9 months ago

Has anyone been successful with using V8 to create, upload, and publish a channel with Ads? I have been waiting and watching to see the results before I create and try to publish my own channel with Ads!

rrirower commented 9 months ago

@ferdiworks you may get a response by posting on the Roku forum.

rrirower commented 9 months ago

@wajidbux Have you been able to make any progress on this? Additionally, I'd like to take you up on the offer to help with subscriptions. Please read the discussion 'Subscription Help Needed'.

wajidbux commented 9 months ago

Hi Michael, No progress yet since the advertising company has not yet responded. Regarding the subscription model, I have a demo channel and test user along with 2 test products. Send me the code if it is ready to be tested.

rrirower commented 9 months ago

Thanks, but, that won't work for me. I need to be able to step through the code so I can debug. That means I'll need the credentials you set up for the test user (user name and products you set up). I may need other info, but, I won't know until I start debugging. I've just started designing the code.

If you can still help, great. If not, no worries.

I can give you whatever you need for debugging and testing purposes. But I would suggest you should go through this article to be more clear. https://developer.roku.com/en-gb/docs/developer-program/roku-pay/testing/billing-testing.md

rrirower commented 9 months ago

Thanks. I'll get back with you this coming week when I'm ready for testing.

rrirower commented 9 months ago

Can you provide me with the url of the feed file for test channel?

rrirower commented 9 months ago

Just for giggles, I tried running some partial test code and quickly realized I am not going to be able to do this with your help. I think I'm going to have to take the monetization plunge even though I'm not progressing any further. I'll let you know if I need any more help.

rrirower commented 9 months ago

This is getting way too complicated for my pay grade. I've tried to progress through the payout stuff on Roku, but, had to stop. It's simply overkill since I have no intention of using any of it. I'm going to have to rethink my approach to testing this.

You are a genius, nothing is impossible for you.

rrirower commented 9 months ago

Can you provide me with the feed URL you have for the test channel? I don't think I'll be able to debug, but, I want to give it a try. I think it will look at my account and not yours.

sure, the feed URL is- https://mangatv.dreamhosters.com/roku.json. it has both movies and series.

rrirower commented 9 months ago

Can you give me some insight into the test products you set up? I ran through the code and it appeared to contain a catalog of two or three items. I'm not sure if it's valid because I don't know the particulars of the video products you set up. Can you provide a list or screenshot of what products you defined?

rrirower commented 9 months ago

I've made contact with one of the developers of the BrighterScript language and he provided some instructions on how I might debug my code. It will boil down to your comfort level with making technical changes. Since I don't know your technical expertise, let me know if you're not comfortable with any of this.

In order for me to test my code, I would need to run it on your Roku box. I should be able to accomplish this if you make some temporary changes to your network router and provide me with the actual IP address of the Roku box. if you're ok with this, let me know. If not, that's ok too.

In the meantime, I've decided to continue the process of signing up for monetization although I've run into some problems and don't know how far I'll get. The entire process seems to be pretty klugy.

Sorry for the late reply, I was traveling. I'm ok with just let me know what you require from my side. by the way, I managed to figure out the problem, there was nothing wrong with the code. I had very little traffic that's why the vast tags could not generate data to parse. now it's working fine but I ran into a problem with the keys i lost the keygen both dev id and password. will email partner success and find a possible solution

rrirower commented 8 months ago

@wajidbux thanks for the update. I actually have some subscription code that's nearing testing.

I wanted to ask if you use a subscription backend processing now. If so, can you explain the workflow?

No, all my channels are ad-based, but I wanted to try out a channel, and compare the different monetization options and which is more profitable.
