For protecting the live stream from capture i think that i can send the clientid or username as text to live stream. So when someone who capture this live event i learn who did it. Is it possible?

That can be done. Take a look at this article:

You will have to get the client to send that info. For example:

i want everything on server side. For example i want to log client’s id and random minutes after “on play event”, i want to add client’s username as video watermark. If i can do this i will protect my video or live event. Because when i see that video in other website, i see who captured this event.

i get username like this
on client side client only send the server username and password;
public void onConnect(IClient client, RequestFunction function, AMFDataList params)
{
getLogger().info("qq: " + client.getQueryStr());
if (client.getQueryStr() != null){
userName = getParamString(params, PARAM1);
password = getParamString(params, PARAM2);
…
and onPlay i want to create random int for example 100023
and imagine that i log the onplay time, clientid, username and random int (100023 for seconds) to mysql record.
and imagine that i write a timer
and imagine that in my timer function i want to send a watermark (txt username) to that client after 100023 seconds later onPlay. but i dont know how to send a watermark to that user.
