 * I cannot activate the plugin because of a code error. I tried on a couple of 
   my sites and it just doesn’t work. Here’s the error:
 * /wp-content/plugins/wp-smart-tv/lib/rovidx-smart-tv-roku-dfp.php on line 245

 * Now it does install and activate and no longer crashes my whole site. However,
   when I publish a video, it produces a 404 page…still not really working.

 * In order to view a video in a web browser you have 2 options.
 * #1 – Use the [tv-video-player id=”XXXXX”] shortcode in a post or page
    #2 – Customize
   your theme to use the movie/shortform/episode/special post types
