Protect / limit the stream to display on my own site only?

Hi 🙂

Is there any way I can protect the displaying of the stream from being used (displayed) on a foreign homepage?

I would be great if I could limit the stream only to be shown on my on server / domain / IP address.

Perhaps there is some kind of logic in the streaming server where a IP address (or domain) can be defined that is allowed to show the stream?

Can this be done so no one can "steal" my stream and display it on their own site?

If you are using the RTMP, you can either configure the allowed domains in the VHOST.xml .. Look for <allow> tag there..

or if you want to go more specific , you can write a access or auth plugin to disallow clients based on IP, domain and other properties..

Thanks

Hi Nitin Goel

Thank you very much. I tried it and was denied access from other domains than what I defined in the allow tag. So it worked on the domain level...

BUT ... I could still see the stream when saving the html file (from a allowed domain) on my desktop and displaying it there.

I need to deny the displaying from desktops too. How to do this?

I will look into the access / auth plugin option. Do you have a good PHP example?

I beleive you can configure the crossdomain.xml, or a file similar to this.

Does crossdomain.xml also work with version 3.5? I am not using version 4.
