Using LiveVideoStreaming/FlashRTMPPlayer with password authentication required?

Wowza Streaming Engine

Is it possible to use the FlashRTMPPlayer software in the LiveVideoStreaming example with a Live application that has password authentication required? There doesn’t seem to be anywhere to enter the username and password.

Hi,

Our username and password authentication in WSEM is for publishing a stream not playing it. Perhaps the following article will provide you with some more information on player authentication.

Hi agajania, with passing parameter to your stream url like

rtmp://xxx/live?username=emre&password=123/new

http://xxx:port/live/new/playlist.m3u8?username=emre&password=123

then in wowza module, on connect methods overriding , you can reach the query string , then you are free to choose the auth mechanism .

I generally use webservices for it after taking the username and pw .

For this, I believe you could use the article below.

Thanks for your response. What I’m looking for is an app that will publish webcam video to the live application via RTMP with authentication.
