    It would be impossible to truly hide the source of the stream. Any traffic analyzer would expose that right away. You could remove it from plain text view by providing it to to the .swf as a binary response from a remoting service,but in the end, it could still be discovered fairly easily.

    If you need to secure your application or stream, you should employ a method of server side client authentication to ensure that only authorized users can connect.

    FMLE Autthentication ad in should work. I just had a look at your previous post - i want to know which FMS version (i know its 3.5) but i want exact version. Also i want to know which FMS edition are you using - is it streaming edition. If its Streaming Edition - i would ask you to upgrade to latest 3.5 version from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashmediaserver/downloads_updaters.html (i suppose its 3.5.6). I somehow suspect you have Streaming Edition and you are on FMS 3.5.3 or below.

    However if you have Streaming Edition and are on 3.5.4 and above OR having FMIS (not Streaming Edition) - then get back to me - we need to see why FMLE Add-in is not working.
