how to prevent FFMPEG to stream to wowza

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

I see we can use the following command to stream to Wowza using FFMPEG

/root/ffmpeg -i “abc.f4v” -re -isync -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f flv “rtmp://IP/streamname flashver=FME/3.0\20(compatible;\20FMSc/1.0)”

Is there a way to configure wowza to stop FFMPEG to stream to wowza?

Thanks

In general ffmpeg internal behavior and <your_publisher> behavior may be different when working with wowza, so it should be possible to write module to detect that difference.

You could use this example as a starting place to prevent FFMPEG to stream to Wowza based on the user agent:

How to block a duplicate publish stream

This example shows how to override publish but would need to be tweaked to suite your needs.

Also there is no way to prevent a user of FFMPEG from setting the user agent to whatever they choose.

You can set up user authentication to control who is allowed to publish a stream ModuleRTMPAuthenticate
