Hi there, take a look at this guide:

How to control access to an HTTP stream (cupertinostreaming, smoothstreaming, sanjosestreaming, mpegdashstreaming)

Hungnguyen,

You can do something like this:

String userID="123";
   List<IHTTPStreamerSession> HTTPClients = ThisAppIns.getHTTPStreamerSessions();
   Iterator<IHTTPStreamerSession> HTTPClientIter = HTTPClients.iterator();
   IHTTPStreamerSession ThisHTTPClient;
          while ( HTTPClientIter.hasNext() )  
                {  
                       ThisHTTPClient = HTTPClientIter.next();
                       if (userID.equalsIgnoreCase(ThisHTTPClient.getQueryStr()))
                    		   {
						   ThisHTTPClient.rejectSession();
						   ThisHTTPClient.shutdown();
                    		   }  
                }

Hungnguyen,

There is nothing built-in to support that. Assuming you are using the Load Balancer, that would be a likely place to manage connections. You might use SharedObjects or HashMap in a HTTPProvider, which would be the entry point for HTTP playback clients. You check check querystring > accept (reject) > check Load Balancer for least loaded server > Return html with video tag and playback URL.

I want to close a http Session which is running.

In my case, I use userid is a parameter in the url. I want to close the first http session when the second http session is created. The first and second http session have the same userid.

For my instance, I request the first stream with http://wowza-server:1935/live/Stream1/playlist.m3u8?us=123456

And then, I also request the second stream with http://wowza-server:1935/live/Stream1/playlist.m3u8?us=123456.

How to Wowza Server close the first http Session, when the second http Session is created.

Hi Richard,

I follow your guide, but it also kills the current session.

I have fix like that

List<IHTTPStreamerSession> HTTPClients = appInstance
.getHTTPStreamerSessions();
Iterator<IHTTPStreamerSession> HTTPClientIter = HTTPClients.iterator();
IHTTPStreamerSession ThisHTTPClient;
getLogger().info("HTTPClients size: "  + HTTPClients.size());
while  (HTTPClientIter.hasNext()) {
[INDENT]ThisHTTPClient = HTTPClientIter.next();
if  (arrParams[0].equalsIgnoreCase(ThisHTTPClient.getQueryStr()) 
[INDENT][/INDENT]&& !ThisHTTPClient.getSessionId().equals(httpSession.getSessionId())
) {
[INDENT]ThisHTTPClient.rejectSession();
ThisHTTPClient.shutdown();[/INDENT]
}[/INDENT]
}

And it works properly.

Thank you very much.

Hi Richard,

I have another issue, I have a media system with multi Edge servers. Such as what I discribe above, when the second http session is created, the first http session is closed. However, it 's just useful on the same edge server.

How about multi edge servers?
