Dolby OptiView Provision and Start a Channel

Dolby OptiView Provision and Start a Channel

Create a channel, start it, and wait until it reaches the playing state.

1. Create the channel. The response returns the channel id and its initial status (typically stopped) under data.
2. Start the channel, which boots all connected engines. Returns 204 No Content on success.
3. Read the channel and inspect its status. The documented status enum includes deploying, starting, waiting, ingesting and playing. Loop back until the channel is playing or has errored.

What you'll need to have ready

• authorization: HTTP Basic Authorization header value (e.g. "Basic <base64 user:pass>").
• name: Human-readable name for the new channel.
• externalId: Optional external identifier to correlate the channel with your system.
• timeout: Channel idle timeout in seconds. Pass 0 to never stop.
