Stream & Server Configuration - Storm JavaScript Library

In this guide, you will learn how to properly configure the streamKey and server parameters with the Storm Library. Please also check our guide on Subscribing to a Stream, which explains how the subscription process works and how to use it.

Sample Code

                        
const streamConfig = {
    /*
    * This section contains data related to the connection with the streaming server
    * and the stream key we want to subscribe to. Each field is explained below.
    */
    stream: {
        serverList: [{
            host: "yourdomain.com",
            application: "live",
            port: 443,
            ssl: true
        }],
        streamKey: "test"
    },
    /*
    * This section includes the basic configuration options required for the player to function.
    * You can learn more about these in the Basic & Advanced Settings documentation.
    */
    settings: {
        autoStart: true,
        video: {
            containerID: "videoContainer",
            aspectRatio: "16:9",
            width: "100%"
        },
    }
}

// Initialize the library instance using the provided configuration
const storm = stormLibrary(streamConfig);
                    

Explanation and Description of Individual Fields

Multiple Server Configuration

It is possible to define several servers in the configuration object as backup.

Example:

                        
serverList: [{
        host: "sub1.yourdomain.com",
        application: "live",
        port: 443,
        ssl: true
    },
    {
        host: "sub2.yourdomain.com",
        application: "live",
        port: 443,
        ssl: true
    },
    {
        host: "sub3.yourdomain.com",
        application: "live",
        port: 443,
        ssl: true
    }
