As live streaming is gaining popularity, the necessity to protect the content from illegal copying and unauthorized use is also growing. In this post, we will describe how you can implement content protection based on Adobe Flash Media Server and Adobe Flash Access to further optimize your live streaming.
\nTo set up the configuration, you\u2019ll need to install and configure Flash Media Server and Flash Access 2.0. For online content encryption FMS has a built-in component called Live Packager. Here we will consider it in more detail. It is noteworthy that currently the only reliable technology to protect live video is the combination of HTTP Dynamic Streaming + DRM (RTMPE much less reliable). When you use HTTP DS to deliver live video, the data is delivered in short segments that can be encrypted using the standard VOD approach.<\/p>\n

To store your live stream files, you can use NFS\/CIFS based data storage.<\/p>\n

To set the rules applied to your live stream passed to FMS, you can use the Event.xml configuration file. By default, it is located in the following directory:
\napplications\/livepkgr\/events\/_definst_\/liveevent\/<\/i>
\nEvent.xml is drafted below (to use it, you\u2019ll need a properly running Flash Access server)<\/p>\n

\n&lt;\/ContentProtection&gt;
\n&lt;\/Recording&gt;
\n&lt;\/Event&gt;<\/div><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n

Having configured the Event, you\u2019ll need to define live streams in Manifest.xml. This is a configuration file used to generate f4m for the video player.<\/p>\n

In this file, let\u2019s define a single output stream called livestream1:<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/td>
&lt;manifest xmlns="http:\/\/ns.adobe.com\/f4m\/1.0"&gt;
\n&lt;media streamId="livestream1" bitrate="1000" \/&gt;
\n&lt;\/manifest&gt;<\/div><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n

After reconfiguring is complete, you’ll need to restart the server.<\/p>\n

To broadcast your streams to the FMS server, let\u2019s use Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2. To generate streams, the video capture card will be used. Please note that to deliver video to iOS devices (iPad iPhone\/iPod), you\u2019ll need AAC codec for audio encoding. On MacOS, FMLE natively supports AAC without any plugin needed. However, under Windows you\u2019ll need to additionally buy an AAC plugin.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As FMS URL, specify rtmp:\/\/fms.denivip.ru\/livepkgr<\/i>. In Stream options, enter livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-http-streaming-ver=1.0<\/i>. Also, in Video options, specify the video stream bitrate you have set in the Manifest.xml file. To activate DVR, enable the «DVR Auto Record» option.
\nNow click the Start button to publish your stream to the FMS server. As a result, a file similar to MTYxMjAzMzAzMg=.stream<\/i> will appear in the applications\/livepkgr\/events\/_definst_\/liveevent\/<\/i> directory.
\nIt should be noted that to organize streaming you\u2019ll need servers of a sufficient capacity. Here are the recommendations for your Flash Media Server and Live Encoder.<\/p>\n
