I get "Unexpected token u" while using JitsiMeetExternalAPI

I'm using the External Jitsi API by following this example. The problem is that I get a "Unexpected token u" error.

What I see is that the Jitsi External API creates an iframe with a supposed chat room URL. The problem is that the iframe url has a "external" hash appended. I tried removing the hash from the src and seems to work fine but I'm still confused.

Someone knows why the hash is needed and if it's possible to find a better way to solve that instead of editing the External Jitsi API src?

fiddle here

 var domain = "meet.jit.si";
 var room = "TestRoom";
 var width = 700;
 var height = 700;
 var htmlElement = document.getElementById("jitsiRoom")
 var api = new JitsiMeetExternalAPI(domain, room, width, height, htmlElement);

Thanks!

Solution

  • I contacted with the developers by using the mailing list and I got this answer.

    Hello,

    It seems like issue in the Jitsi Meet code. We need the "external" hash parameter and I don't think this is the best way to solve the issue.

    I'll investigate it and fix it.

    Thank you for the report!

    Seems to be a bug.

    Not tested but they pushed a fix for that bug.
