Wowza Streaming Engine Playback Security

Wowza Streaming Engine

Hello all,

I was trying out the playback security feature in the wowza streaming engine installed on my pc and I was unable to play the published stream and it showed this error :

[rtsp @ 0x7f0a5c009260] method DESCRIBE failed: 403 Forbidden=0/0

rtsp://wowza_ip:1935/live/myStream.sdp?wowzatokenhash=NTQ2MTJmMjMyNzMyMGYzNmVkYTlhOWQ3MDZkNTBiYjY5YjA4MmE0NWQ1MmQwMjI4MzdmOGJlNzA0ZTE3ZDAyOSAgLQ: Server returned 403 Forbidden (access denied)

I had generated the hash required using sha256sum available on ubuntu and then converted it to base-64 encoding using base64 command. Can anyone please tell me where I am going wrong ? Do I have to specify anything in the URL when I push the stream to the server ? I am pushing the stream using FFMPEG. It is an rtsp stream from an IP Camera.

Commands used :

ffmpeg -i rtsp://camera_ip/live.sdp -c copy -f rtsp rtsp://username:password@wowza_ip:1935/live/myStream.sdp (to push the stream to server)

ffplay -fflags nobuffer rtsp://wowza_ip:1935/live/myStream.sdp?wowzatokenhash=NTQ2MTJmMjMyNzMyMGYzNmVkYTlhOWQ3MDZkNTBiYjY5YjA4MmE0NWQ1MmQwMjI4MzdmOGJlNzA0ZTE3ZDAyOSAgLQ (to play it back)

Thanks in advance,

Adarsh

Hello

Thanks for contacting Wowza Forums

Wowza does not support secure RTSP streams.

Hope this helps.
