passphrase to srs server and prioritize input streams

[jb-alvarado]

Hello winlinvip,
is it possible to secure the srs server with an password or key? Other servers support something like:
rtmp://user:[email protected]/live/livestream

wowza has also a feature, that you can load a dummy clip and when your input stream fails it play this clip. And you also can stream a second clip with a higher priority, that replace the standard stream.
For example: we have a 24/7 stream and sometime we have live events. This live event stream have a higher priority and when this starts, it replace the other streams. People who watch our stream have not to reload the page when the streams are changing, because they don't break the connecting.
Is this also possible with srs?

Ok, I found out that I can work with HTTPCallback.

http_hooks { enabled on; on_publish http://127.0.0.1:8085/api/v1/streams http://localhost:8085/api/v1/streams; }

I guess I have to use for this the python server, that is ok. I also can grab with curl the client info and see there, if my publishing connection use the correct token:

"clients": [ { "alive": 58.725, "id": 108, "ip": "188.192.47.86", "pageUrl": "", "publish": true, "stream": 53432, "swfUrl": "", "tcUrl": "rtmp://example.com:1934/live?key=123456789", "type": "fmle-publish", "url": "/live/tv", "vhost": 53431 },
But how can I use this for automatic authentication? I could write a cronjob, but that sounds a bit strange to me.
Or is there a better way? Like only allow specific stream name?

You should write your API server like the python server, which is just a example.

BTW, it's the right solution to authenticate your user.

Ok thank you. When someone have the same problem, here is a little hack of the demo sever:

I never write in python before, so I don't give grantee.
