Hello BBB Team,
I've been building a plugin for a project and in this plugin I have to fetch some external resources so I wanted to use the remoteDataResource, but I keep getting errors.
Somehow BigBlueButton is not correctly substituting the ${meta_streamEndpointsUrl} variable in your manifest.json with the actual URL am passing during meeting creation. Instead, it's using a default BBB internal URL.
```
