I'm having trouble getting my locations recognized, and therefore I can't enter them into the "primary location" field and then it won't save the session. I had them entered in rooms.json and then loaded them via the Admin Settings interface. Is there a special format that needs to be followed to enter them?
Good video but audio is very quiet. It would be great if you could amplify the volume. I am at max in player and on my computer but still have trouble hearing it.
@deanichikawa If you can see your rooms on the admin settings interface, then make sure you click on 'Construct AP Info' in the upper right corner. After that your rooms should appear in the drop down when you start typing the first letters.
