File name encryption

Is it possible to have custom encryption for the filename in the stream URL and decrypt it server side?

rtmp://192.168.0.1:1935/vod/mp3:some_custom_encryped_filename

So I can encrypt the filename in any language I need, PHP, JS, AS3 etc then code a custom decryption in Wowza to decrypt to show the true filename.

Hello there,

You might consider looking into the IMediaStreamNameAliasProvider2 interface of which you could take the encrypted stream name and decrypt it within the given resolvePlayAlias and resolveStreamAlias event handlers:

How to use the IMediaStreamNameAliasProvider2 interface

If you need assistance implementing this you might consider posting a request to the find a consultant forum.

Kind regards,
