Hello, we have a site with our own contents (feeds) and some guy is replicating our streams using rtmpdump software. Is there any way to stop this tool?

I know it can surface rtmpt also, looking forward to hear about some kind of solution to this

Thanks

You can use unique URL params and deny unauthenticated clients.

Also, take a look at the MediaSecurity Addon:

Use ModuleSecureToken to prevent spoofing, or ModuleRTMPAuthenticate to secure publishing
