Video sources (same for all apps)

You set up your video source or integration once, and Tappla keeps everything in sync automatically:

  • Vimeo: Any edits you make to videos, Showcases, or Channels in Vimeo are synced to Tappla and your apps every 24–48 hours.

  • Feed URL: Data from your JSON feed is synced automatically every 24–48 hours.

  • Manual videos: If you add videos by pasting URLs and metadata, you’ll need to update them manually.

Roku Channel

  • Tappla builds a custom Roku SDK app for you.

  • We handle submission to the Roku Developer portal.

  • You’ll need to invite us to your Roku Developer account so we can submit under your name.

Apple TV (tvOS app)

  • Tappla builds a native tvOS app for Apple TV.

  • We submit it directly to Apple’s App Store.

  • You’ll need to provide access to your Apple Developer account.

Amazon Fire TV

  • Amazon has shut down the self-service Amazon Creator tool.

  • Tappla is currently working on a custom Fire TV SDK app solution, similar to what we provide for Roku and Apple TV.

  • In the meantime, Fire TV support is limited — please contact us for the latest updates.
