Block connections in the origin with simple tv

Hi

I have a problem, several users connected by simpletv software (http://rghost.net/download/39245160/20b3ac6a4ca8f1ab4c90a56672b0b40046596ad6/SimpleTV%200.4.7%20b2%20setup%20(VLC%202.0.2).exe) to my origin server directly and I can not block it.

Can someone help me and tell me how I can block this theft of connections in my server?

regards

Hi,

It does depend on the protocol in use , RTMP or RTP, looks like it might be RTP (RTSP), but you could try

if RTP then you would need to write a custom module and check for the user agent type. It may not identify itself other than VLC, so you may not be able to block it specifically.

Alternatively you could block all RTP, set

PlayMethod from none to digest in your Application.xml
