How to limit HLS stream

Hi, is there any possibilty to limit one stream per client in http session in HLS ?

Can you elaborate… what do you mean by “one stream per client”?

I mean, when some client get connected over http to hls, and it gets his session id, i want to limit that client to get only one stream from wowza, and nobody else can take his chunklist_w-sessionid.m3u8 and play in other player ie. VLC…to elaborate - one sessionID can play only his chunklist playlist and it cannot be shared among other people.

I would check out articles on ModuleCoreSecurity and secureToken. You could implement some combo of secure tokena and username/password and verify these on the Wowza side. It will require a Wowza Module and some custom Java code.

Happy to chat about a custom implementation if you are interested

In meanwhile, we tested secureToken module feature, and i think it will do job for us.Thanks for replying Scott.
