I’m using ffmpeg with librtmp to send live streams to Wowza 2.

How can I authenticate using the ModuleRTMPAuthenticate and librtmp ?

Is there any useful Connection Parameter I can use for that in librtmp as is documented in [http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/librtmp.3.html](http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/librtmp.3.html) ?

Mabbe using conn=type:data to send AMF Data with the connect message ?

Any experiences about it ?

Thanks,

We do not have any experience with this.
