Additional information#
Nuances of working with stream preview#
In order to write the preview address of the stream (the preview > live > url field) to the LUNA Streams stream, FaceStream must determine its IP address. It determines its IP address in one of two ways:
- through connecting to the LUNA Streams service
- via the system environment variable
VL_FACE_HOST. The environment variable can be set by executing the following command in the server terminal:export VL_FACE_HOST=<your_ip_address>.
If the IP address of the
VL_FACE_HOSTvariable is set incorrectly, then LUNA Streams will delete streams with an incorrect address, and FaceStream will terminate with the following errorFailed to validate input json.
Using an environment variable overrides the way you connect to the LUNA Streams service.
If the IP address of FaceStream is determined by connecting to the LUNA Streams service, then to determine its IP address, FaceStream must always start after LUNA Streams. If for some reason FaceStream started before LUNA Streams (for example, the server was restarted, where both FaceStream and LUNA Streams are running), then FaceStream may terminate with the error Failed to get local IP address. Reason. If the FaceStream IP address is determined through the system environment variable VL_FACE_HOST, then the above error will not occur.
