Hi,

I am using secure token authentication. It is working fine with flash player which can send the secure token response. How can I read the stream from client which do not support secure token response like ffmpeg ?

If there is no secure token, then ffmpeg can read the stream, but if secure token is used, then how can I read the stream using ffmpeg?

or

Can I add exception in secure token, ie For some fixed IP addresses do not use secure token, and use it for all others?
