invalid parameter when adding a token to a m3u8 url

Hello! I am using "@mux/mux-node": "^3.1.0"

I am able to get a livestream and an assets video playback id just fine, but when I add a token query parameters has shown in the documentation

const token = Mux.JWT.sign('some-playback-id');
// https://stream.mux.com/some-playback-id.m3u8?token=${token}

(request then looks like this ```https://stream.mux.com/jqSQn4Vq3SmbRxGj9cZLEFJB7Eb00015jbYa3EY9dQE.m3u8?token=eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCIsImtpZCI6IlptZ…``

I get a the following error

{error: {messages: ["Invalid Parameters"], type: "invalid_parameters"}}

Thanks for the details @BjMrq. This is a support issue, not something specific to this particular library. If you don’t mind, I would still like to direct the conversation to support channels.

Since we’re here though, it looks like this playback ID (OzJrJ431iiyW702b4iceBClDHdRe01giL4lTcOIbxb98g) might be a public playback ID. In order to use tokens, make sure that you are dealing with a signed playback ID: https://docs.mux.com/docs/security-signed-urls

It’s an intentional design decision that token= cannot be used successfully with public playback IDs (we wouldn’t want users to be using tokens and give themselves the illusion of security, when in fact their playback ID is public).

If there is an issue with this particular SDK, we can open this back up, but for now let’s direct this towards Mux support ([e-mail] or the intercom chat bubble in the web application and we’ll be happy to help). Thanks!

Thanks for the clarifications @dylanjha !
