Before submitting your feed file, verify each item in the following checklist:
| Item | Verified | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| The feed includes all content from your catalog. | |||
All entities in the feed have a unique ID (@id).
|
|||
All entities in the feed have a unique URL (url).
|
|||
All entities in the feed have a unique deep link (urlTemplate).
|
|||
All supported entity types (for example Movie and TVEpisode) are included in the feed.
|
|||
| Entities are contained in the feed envelope. | |||
| The feed is in a UTF-8 encoded file without BOM and without control characters. | |||
The dateModified property of the feed envelope is updated upon generation.
|
|||
@id, url, and urlTemplate use the same domain in the feed.
|
|||
All URLs (url) provided in the feed are canonical.
|
|||
All deep links (urlTemplate) and URLs (url) provided in the feed are production URLs (that is, not QA or DEV URLs).
|
|||
| All deep links open the correct content on the applications of the platform they target. | |||
All TVEpisode entities have corresponding TVSeries entities in the feed.
|
|||
The category property of a TVSeries is set to the least restrictive access requirement of its content.
For instance, if a TVSeries has a number of TVEpisode content that are nologinrequired and a few that are subscription, set this TVSeries to be nologinrequired.
|
|||
The feed does not contain stale entities; that is, entities with availabilityEndDate set in the past or entities that are no longer available on your app or platform.
|
|||
The feed includes deep links (urlTemplate) to all supported platforms (Web, iOS, Android, AndroidTV, and ChromeCast).
|
|||
For Movie and TVEpisode, content must autoplay on all platforms.
|
|||
For TVSeries and TVSeason, content must autoplay on Chromecast and Android TV. On other platforms, playback needs to be within one click (however, we recommend autoplay).

|||
| For Listen Actions, content must autoplay on all platforms. However, on iOS, playback can be within one click. | |||
| If content requires users to log in, the content must autoplay on all platforms immediately after login. | |||
| On mobile platforms (Android and iOS), if a user initiates content, but your app isn't installed on the user’s device, the user is directed to the App Store or Play Store and is prompted to install the app. | |||
