Flash Media Server 4.5 and PHLS streaming of Live Channels (Working Example)

First make sure the the FMS 4.5 version supports PHLS.. FMSS doesn't support PHLS.

Next,

I recommed you first try with the http only ( and not use the https) for key serving. In that case, you can skip gernerating server certificates and all https enabling stuff..

If you succeed in that, we can then move to serving key file on https.

I have personal blog link on troubleshooting the same http://knowfms.wordpress.com/2011/11/11/basic-steps-to-troubleshoot-hls-encryption-in-fms/

For non https delivery of key

Go with following step:

1. Add following section in  httpd.conf after the <Location /hls-vod> section.

<Location /phls-vod>

    HLSHttpStreamingEnabled true

    HLSMediaFileDuration 8000

    HttpStreamingContentPath "../webroot/vod"

    HLSFmsDirPath ".."

    HLSJITConfAllowed true

# Uncomment the following directives to enable encryption

# for this location.

    HLSEncryptionScope server

    HLSEncryptCipherKeyFile "../webroot/phls/vodkey.bin"

HLSEncryptKeyURI        "http://<server-name>/phls-key/vodkey.bin"

    Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks

</Location>   

<Location /phls-key>

  HLSEncryptHostCipherKey true

  HLSFmsDirPath ".."

  HLSEncryptKeyRepository "../phls"

</Location>

   1. In the above configuration, edit the values as per your server needs..

    2. Use the following m3u8 url:  http://<server-name>/phls-vod/sample1_1000kbps.f4v.m3u8 (Note we’re using /phds-vod, not /hls-vod).

    3. Then check the Apache access logs for the vodkey.bin request.
