Building

yarn build

Built files will be output to ./dist

Customizing Your Build

Variable	Default	Description
NODE_ENV	development	yarn start always sets this to development and yarn build will always set this to production. You should not have to modify this variable
PUBLIC_URL	/	The root url of the site (only applies to production builds)
REACT_APP_HTTP_PROVIDER		By default, the app will use the Livepeer testnet provider (https://ethrpc-testnet.livepeer.org), but this option allows you to specify a custom Ethereum http provider. You may want to use one of the following: infura.io - https://<network>.infura.io/<your-token> local geth/testrpc - http://localhost:8545
REACT_APP_STREAM_ROOT_URL		The root http url from which broadcaster m3u8 files will be served

Changing Stream Route on the fly

add ?source=<STREAM_ROOT_URL>/stream to the player url

Example: https://media.livepeer.org/embed/0x0ddb225031ccb58ff42866f82d907f7766899014?source=http://localhost:8935/stream

Local Mode

pull the local current stream. the local livepeer node has to have -currentManifest flag on.

go to http://localhost:3000/channels/local . this sets the source to http://localhost:8935/stream/current.m3u8
