How to provide a custom launch template

Accurate.Video is launched with a custom launch template using the query parameter launchTemplate like this:

https://apps.accurate.video/launch/{application}?launchTemplate=http://your-launch-template.com

For this to work however, the launch template must be publicly accessible and CORS must be configured properly so that Accurate.Video may retrieve it.

Also, remember to replace {application} with the app you want to launch, like validate, edit or poster.

Amazon S3 example setup​

Let's exemplify this using an Amazon S3 bucket.

Step 1: Create a bucket​

First create a bucket. This bucket will serve both media and launch templates.

Step 2: Configure CORS​

Add a proper CORS configuration allowing our domain to request data. You can follow this guide. As an example this CORS configuration will work:

[
  {
    "AllowedHeaders": ["*"],
    "AllowedMethods": ["GET", "HEAD"],
    "AllowedOrigins": ["https://*.accurate.video"],
    "ExposeHeaders": [],
    "MaxAgeSeconds": 3000
  }
]

Step 3: Upload media​

Upload media to your bucket and get an url to each file that is publicly accessible. Either by granting public read access or by generating a presigned url.

Step 4: Create a custom launch template​

Start out with the default template

https://apps.accurate.video/launch/{application}?launchTemplate=https://apps.accurate.video/assets/json/default-template.json&manual

and modify it to load your media.

Step 5: Upload launch template​

Upload the launch template to your bucket and make it accessible just like in step 3.

Step 6: Load remote launch template​

Open your launch template in Accurate.Video using the query parameter launchTemplate

https://apps.accurate.video/launch/{application}?launchTemplate=https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/your-bucket/launchTemplate.json&manual
