RTMPS support

Hello,

The User Guide states rtmps is supported, however, it’s unclear if this support refers to only players using rtmps or if ingestion can also be rtmps. Our use case if 1-to-many broadcast, but we need to have encryption support. Questions:

  1. Can Wowza support rtmps ingestion?

  2. Are there any known mobile SDKs for Android and iOS that anyone has used to encode and send in rtmps? Similarly, any mobile SDKs for playback of rtmps?

  3. If you use h.264 video codec for encoding and use it for commercial purposes, it’s not clear if there are licensing costs associated with it or not. I believe the playback with h.264 doesn’t need to be licensed for commercial use, but I’m not sure about encoding.

I’d appreciate any responses or feedback.

Thanks

  1. Yes, wowza can ingest RTMPS, we’ve used it before.

  2. Not sure, but take a look at https://www.realtimelibs.com/
