Cant publish stream (JSON error)

Hello,

I face issue when trying to publish stream (fresh install). Getting such error:

ERROR server comment -

RTPSessionDescriptionDataProviderBasic.getSessionDescriptionData JSON

detected but there is an error in the JSON

com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParseException: Unexpected character (’’

(code 92)): was expecting either valid name character (for unquoted name)

or double-quote (for quoted) to start field name

CAn someone tell me where should I look for trouble?

It looks like your text editor has save the stream file as formatted text instead of plain text.

Make sure you use a text editor that saves the file in plain text (utf8) mode.

TextEdit on the Mac defaults to a rich text format. You need to manually select plain text by choosing Format / Make Plain Text from the menu and then ensuring that you save it in a UTF-8 format from the Save dialog.

Are you using a .stream file like this:

If so and the file is malformed you would get a json error.

Can you show the contents of the .stream file?

That was the reason.

Thanks a lot, issue resolved
