how to authenticate using rtmpsink

Hi Yakov.

You are probably getting closer. However I hope the username and password
in your example are not yours ....

You might try use FLME and then inspect the URL passed by FLME using
Wireshark or tcpdump etc.
That's how I did with YouTube, UStream, Twitch and Akamai in the past.

In my previous post, I also list the slashver I use for YouTube/Ustream. It
was different from the one for Akamai. You may want to try out different
versions and perhaps throw in a couple of '%20' as shown in the flashver
example. It may or may not be needed.

Bets regards

I looked all possible manuals (gstreamer, akamai, librtmp, stackoverflow),
and cannot find anything about authentications methods or password_files.
Thank you,

Hi Yakov
You may find some useful information about using GStreamer to feed
Content Distributions Networks on this page
http://sourceforge.net/p/snowmix/wiki/Snowmix%20and%20CDNs/
The trick is to compose a rather complicated location string. I haven't
tested the Akamai setup recently, so expect some changes needed. The
location string was reverse engineered using Wireshark.
You need to set a couple of variables, here shown using bash
akamai_server='INSERT_YOUR_AKAMAI_SERVER_NAME_HERE'
akamai_user='INSERT_YOUR_AKAMAI_USER_NAME_HERE'
akamai_pass='INSERT_YOUR_AKAMAI_PASSWORD_NAME_HERE'
flashver='FME/3.0%20(compatible;%20FMSc%201.0)'
stream_key="live=true pubUser=$akamai_user pubPasswd=$akamai_pass"
location="rtmp://$akamai_server/EntryPoint $stream_key $akamai_flashver"
It will be really helpful if you tell how far you get with this so I can
update the information.

I cannot find any info on how to auth with user/password to the akamai
server using rtmpsink.
location=rtmp://server/app/play pubUser=user pubPaswd=pwd
location=rtmp://server/app/play user=user pasword=pwd
location=rtmp://server/app/play?user=user&pasword=pwd
g_object_set(rtmp_elem, "pubPaswd", pwd, NULL)
....
nothing seems to work, I get "server closed the connection" message
immediately form akamai.
or should I write to librtmp mail list instead?
thank you
Yakov
