Trickplay files not added to JSON for Series episodes

Hi Rob,

Thank you for creating this awesome WP plugin that makes it very easy for content publishers to manage Content Feed with a nice GUI instead of having to manually update the JSON file.

So I have created the Content Feed(JSON) using WP Smart TV plugin and added two categories of videos. Short-form and Series episodes. I have also enabled the Trickplay file support from WP Smart TV settings. And uploaded all the relevant .BIF files to my WP-Content/Uploads folder for every short-form video as well as Series episodes.

The problem is when you create or update an Episode and attach Trickplay files, it does not get added in the JSON feed inside the Content{} Associative Array. Interestingly, when you update or add a new Video(Short-form) and attach the Trickplay files, WP Smart TV plugin properly updates the JSON with trickPlayFiles[] array. So it seems to me that there is a bug in the plugin when trying to attach Trickplay files to a new Episode or updating existing Episode with Trickplay files. What is interesting is that, the uploaded Trickplay files does shows up on the Episode’s Trickplay section. However the JSON feed is not being updated by the WP Smart TV plugin which seems like a bug?

So I thought for a workaround and downloaded the JSON feed from WP Smart TV settings, and manually added trickPlayFiles[] array with relevant values and then import that modified JSON from WP Smart TV settings. Interestingly, the WP Smart TV imports all the short-form videos and series episodes preserving all the fields and values in the JSON. But it leaves out all the trickPlayFiles[] field and does not import it for either Short-form Videos or Episodes which is a second bug.

Can you please fix and provide a resolution for these as I am trying to add BIF files for full Episodes which is compulsory to pass Certification testing for SDK channel in order to publish on Channel Store.

I encountered these bugs on WP Smart TV Version 2.1.8 installed on WordPress 6.0.3

Thanks!
