VideoWhisper RTMP Web Session Check

0
1 week ago
by admin in , , , ,

For sites and integrations where additional security measures are required, VideoWhisper applications support login session check on RTMP side.

This is used to make sure no clients will be able to connect to rtmp server without having previously logged in with the _login.php scripts.
When a new client tries to connect to RTMP server with a session name, rtmp application will check on the web server if that client session exists. If web server does not confirm that client logged in, rtmp server will reject the connection. RTMP server will also check for a webKey that needs to be configured same way on rtmp and web server: this will prevent connections in case of web domain hijacking.
Notes
- This will disable connections from external encoders (ie. FMLE) and players (ie. JwPlayer) to that rtmp address, as these will not provide a session name to check for validity.
- Usually, each installation will require its own rtmp side that checks session info with that installation. Otherwise you will have to tweak scripts to check on all installations.

 

RTMP Configuration

RTMP side web session check is currently supported for Wowza rtmp side. Download latest version of Wowza rtmp side, deploy to your server and update these settings in conf/videowhisper-web/Application.xml :

…
<Properties>
<Property>
<Name>acceptPlayers</Name>
<Value>true</Value>
</Property>
<Property>
<Name>webLogin</Name>
<Value>http://installation_url/rtmp_login.php?s=</Value>
</Property>
<Property>
<Name>webKey</Name>
<Value>VideoWhisper</Value>
</Property>
<Property>
<Name>webLogout</Name>
<Value>http://installation_url/rtmp_logout.php?s=</Value>
</Property>
</Properties>
</Application>

 

 

Then restart WowzaMediaServer service. For troubleshooting check Wowza access logs. If errors occur in the error logs submit a ticket to VideoWhisper about this.

Web Configuration

Download latest Video Conference php edition and check these integration files:
rtmp.inc.php – stores session info when user authenticates from vc_login.php ; contains $webKey if you want to change it
rtmp_login.php – called by rtmp server to see if a session name is valid (authenticated); also gets canKick permission to allow user to kick clients
rtmp_logout.php – called by rtmp server when client with a session name disconnected (to cleanup session)

Configure settings.php to use the videowhisper-web rtmp address.

To integrate this on other editions or installations you will need to copy the 3 files mentioned above to installation folder and include rtmp.inc.php in the _login.php scripts that authorize the user.
Other changes could be required depending on particularities of each integration.

Sample Demo Configuration

Installation url: http://www.videowhisper.com/demos/vc_web
Using rtmp address: rtmp://videowhisper.com/videowhisper-web

         <Property>
<Name>webLogin</Name>
<Value>http://www.videowhisper.com/demos/vc_web/rtmp_login.php?s=</Value>
</Property>
<Property>
<Name>webKey</Name>
<Value>VideoWhisper</Value>
</Property>
<Property>
<Name>webLogout</Name>
<Value>http://www.videowhisper.com/demos/vc_web/rtmp_logout.php?s=</Value>
</Property>

Playback RTMP with JW Player

2 months ago
by admin in , ,

You can publish a rtmp stream to a rtmp address and then playback with an external player like JWPlayer.
If you publish StreamName to rtmp address rtmp://your-rtmp-address-here then you will need to configure JW Player:
var flashvars = { file: StreamName.flv, streamer: rtmp://your-rtmp-address-here, autostart:”true”, type:”rtmp”}

 

Webcam video streams can be published from web with a video Live Streaming broadcasting script. With the VideoWhisper Live Streaming soulution, StreamName is channel name (in example Studio586). Important: As latest VideoWhisper solutions also support P2P streaming, these need to be configured with alwaysRTMP=1 parameter in their _login.php or equivalent script so streams are always published to RTMP server.

 

If you want to publish for other devices special encoders and codecs would be required. Using an external encoder you can encode with codecs and settings not available in browser flash player (due to flash limitations). Not all encoders and versions are compatible with all rtmp servers and versions. Some require special configuration and usage instructions.

Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder can be used for Adobe Media Interactive server and is also reported to work with Wowza.

Wowza & Wirecast documentation and support is available for Wowza Media Server hosting.

 

Note that when publishing H.264, video player should be configured to play StreamName.mp4 instead of StreamName.flv .

Use JW Player to play VideoWhisper application streams

2 years ago
by admin in , ,

With the latest VideoWhisper rtmp applications versions, webmasters can enable external player support (both for FMIS and Red5).  This can be enabled from  RTMP Application Settings.

You need to have allowPlayers=true for FMIS or acceptPlayers=true for Red5 . These settings are turned on by default.

This will allow playing a stream published by a VideoWhisper flash application like Live Streaming with an external player like JW Player.

Demo:

Publish a stream from Live Streaming Demo (i.e. Studio1) and then view it on JW Player. Update channel name in link if you’re using a different one.

Important: As latest VideoWhisper solutions also support P2P streaming, these need to be configured with alwaysRTMP=1 parameter in their _login.php or equivalent script so streams are always published to RTMP. Because of this, demo above is disabled (to prevent heavy rtmp usage on public install), but you can use sample code in your own installs.

 

Here is the code to embed JW Player:

<?
include(“settings.php”);
$stream=$_GET['n'];
?>
<object id=”player” classid=”clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000″ name=”player” width=”328″ height=”260″>
<param name=”movie” value=”player.swf” />
<param name=”allowfullscreen” value=”true” />
<param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always” />
<param name=”flashvars” value=”file=<?=urlencode($stream)?>.flv&streamer=<?=urlencode($rtmp_server)?>&autostart=true” />
<object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” data=”player.swf” width=”328″ height=”260″>
<param name=”movie” value=”player.swf” />
<param name=”allowfullscreen” value=”true” />
<param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always” />
<param name=”flashvars” value=”file=<?=urlencode($stream)?>.flv&streamer=<?=urlencode($rtmp_server)?>&autostart=true” />
<p><a href=”http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer”>Get Flash</a> to see this player.</p>
</object>
</object>

Also this code could be used for playing a Studio1 stream broadcaster with VideoWhisper Live Streaming. Make sure you have swobject.js and player-viral.swf in that folder.

<script type='text/javascript' src='swfobject.js'></script> <div id='mediaspace'>This text will be replaced</div> <script type='text/javascript'> var so = new SWFObject('player-viral.swf','mpl','320','320','9'); so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true'); so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always'); so.addParam('wmode','opaque'); so.addVariable('file','Studio1.flv'); so.addVariable('volume','5'); so.addVariable('streamer','rtmp://your-rtmp-server/videowhisper'); so.addVariable('autostart','true'); so.addVariable('quality','false'); so.write('mediaspace'); </script>
