Hi,

I am using Wowza to do live streaming. The flash object that shows the live video is embedded in my website. But, it is very much possible for someone to copy the swf object code and paste it in its website and the player can fetch the stream from that website as well. Is there any way I can discourage this? Can I only let wowza give stream to the flash player only when it calls from my website?

Thanks.

Your best bet for this is to use the Hotlink Denial module.
