Is somebody knows how to set password to my wowza rtsp stream? Now i can use stream rtsp://127.0.0.1:1935/live/mystream but i want something like rtsp://username:password@:127.0.0.1:1935/live/mystream

Thanks!!

For this to work, change /conf/[app-name]/Application.xml /RTP /Authentication /PlayMethod to “basic”
