Question

Live Streaming w/ RTMPE Only?

I'm hoping there's a simple answer to this. I'm attempting to stream a live event using FMLE and FMS. The first thing that throws me off is that I cannot push the stream to the server using RTMPE, only RTMP. I assume this is because the the encryption is handled by the server and not the encoder. However, for the sake of security I would like to disable RTMP connections from the flash player to the server. Yet it would seem that if I incorporate the server side scripting described here http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405456.html (namely the changes to my main.asc file), that my server would reject an RTMP connection from FMLE? Is that correct? If so, where do I go from here? Can I broadcast a live stream using RTMPE only? Do I need a different encoder or something, or am I just missing a very simple point?

    You're correct that FMLE can't publish RTMPE.

    What you can do is, in your logic for inspecting the client protocol for the connection, make an exception for FMLE user-agents. Based on the example code in the doc you linked to, you could do something like:

     application.onConnect = function(clientObj) {
       if(clientObj.protocol == "rtmpe" || clientObj.protocol == "rtmpte" || client.agent.indexOf("FMLE") > -1 || client.agent.indexOf("FME") > -1){
         return true;
       }
      return false
     }
