Jibri Fails to run.

[nightstryke]

Keep getting this in the /var/log/jitsi/jibri/log.txt files 2018-05-13 20:27:15.692 SEVERE: [1] org.jitsi.jibri.Main.loadConfig() A required config parameter was missing: Instantiation of [simple type, class org.jitsi.jibri.config.XmppEnvironmentConfig] value failed for JSON property name due to missing (therefore NULL) value for creator parameter name which is a non-nullable type

[bbaldino]

This error is printed if there is a failure parsing the config file, in particular that a required field of type "XmppEnvironmentConfig" is missing. If you have an empty object in that array, that would be why (have seen others run into that as the sample one is set up that way). If you paste your config I can tell you for sure (don't forget to change anything sensitive)

I'm running this off of a different VPS and setup an A Record directly to the VPS ip so it does resolve and do normal Jitsi Chat, but my config isn't working. Here it is.

`{ // NOTE: this is a SAMPLE config file, it will need to be configured with // values from your environment

Hi @nightstryke

try remove from config this part

,
    {
        // Another environment config like the above
    }

default config is not valid jsonq

Alright that seems to have fixed the problem.

Another question, does anyone know if it's possible to change the stream url from youtube to another rtmp server like a custom server? I'd like to be able to send to my rtmp server instead of to google's.

We don't currently support that, but it's something we'd like to support and will probably do at some point, but nothing planned as of now.
