Dolby.io Communications Example Authorisation and Communications proxy

Use this proxy server sample code to connect your Dolby.io communications API based project to our backend services and correctly handle POST requests for features such as starting and stopping RTMP streams.

IMPORTANT! we cannot use demo APP_KEY

Setup

note This guide is written with Yarn in mind.

1. Go to the /api directory and run following command to install all necessary dependencies:

yarn

2. In the /api directory, create an .env file and fill it with the following properties.

PORT=4000
KEY=APP_KEY
SECRET=APP_SECRET
HOSTNAME=localhost

Your APP_KEY and APP_SECRET can be found in your Dolby.io dashboard, under the app section. Do not wrap them in quote marks.

3. You can start the proxy server by running the following command.

yarn dev

4. Observe the traffic on your terminal window. Once the live stream feature is enabled in the app, ensure you can see logs pertaining to start and stop and HTTP response codes to indicate a successful connection.
