As noted in the dev server (lobby) there were/are some issues.

Things should be fixed shortly.

Also your secret/jwt payload should be:

```
    var payload = {
        'exp': Math.floor(new Date().getTime() / 1000) + 60,
        'user_id': channelID,
        'channel_id': channelID,
        'role': 'external'
    }

```

Above is `Signed JWT created by the EBS, following the requirements documented in Signing the JWT (in Building Extensions)`

OR `Twitch JWT containing the broadcaster role` which is a JWT passed from a config/dashboard panel not a EBS constructed JWT

Yeah you’ve posted in four different forums with four different blocks of gibberish and all four don’t make any sense…

What is your issue? What do you need help with?

Can you raise your issue in a separate thread rather than cross posting in four threads with links to the other threads and not actually describing your issue?
