CleanStream Media Connector Reference

Self-hosted reference implementation of the v1 connector protocol.

PAIRING_SECRET='choose-a-long-secret' MEDIA_ROOT='/path/to/videos' node server.js

For production, place the service behind HTTPS and set PUBLIC_BASE_URL and APPROVAL_BASE_URL to its HTTPS address. Scanning the TV QR code opens a phone approval form protected by PAIRING_SECRET; replace that form with your own identity provider for a production connector.

Local OrbStack development

Copy .env.example to .env, set MEDIA_ROOT to an absolute directory with video files, then start the shared-Caddy stack:

docker compose -p cleanstream-connector-local-domain -f docker-compose.local-domain.yml up -d

The connector is available at https://cleanstream-connector.test. The TV and phone must be on the same LAN. Because this uses Caddy's internal certificate, the phone must trust the local Caddy root certificate before it can open the QR approval URL.
