Thanks for ur reply @salvadore unfortunetly this is not the issue im having, they are using some code with rtmpdump in order to take my video signals and restream them to another wowza servers, here is an example of the code that they uses

:loop

ffmpeg -i “rtmp://ipofmy server:1935/liveedge/.stream swfUrl=http://p.jwpcdn.com/6/8/jwplayer.flash.swf live=1 pageUrl=http://mysite.com/site/live-tv/” -isync -vcodec copy -b:v 50k -acodec copy -b:a 88000 -ar 32000 -f flv “rtmp://serverip where signal is published:190/vod/strsjgzed”

goto loop

please let me know if u know how to block this connections ?

thanks

thanks for your reply, but unfortunetly we already have that module installed, the people just decompile the swf and get the token from the player. I dont know how else this security issue can be solved ?

thanks
