Is it possible to have custom encryption for the filename in the stream URL and decrypt it server side?

rtmp://192.168.0.1:1935/vod/mp3:some\_custom\_encryped\_filename

So I can encrypt the filename in any language I need, PHP, JS, AS3 etc then code a custom decryption in Wowza to decrypt to show the true filename.

Hello there,

You might consider looking into the IMediaStreamNameAliasProvider2 interface of which you could take the encrypted stream name and decrypt it within the given resolvePlayAlias and resolveStreamAlias event handlers:

[How to use the IMediaStreamNameAliasProvider2 interface](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-the-imediastreamnamealiasprovider2-interface)

If you need assistance implementing this you might consider posting a request to the [find a consultant forum](http://community.wowza.com/c/-/7).
