Windows Server Forum / Windows Media Server / September 2008How to protect MMS or HTTP or RTSP stream from leeching?
I am new to windos media server. I saw so many web sites Running their Livestreams (Paid) or Free. All in Most can be seen from web source(html) and can be use on an other site. like mms://domainname/pp I WANT TO MAKE A NEW SERVER FOR STREAMING. BUT WANT TO PROTECT M STREAM THAT CAN BE PLAY ONLY INTERNAL TO MY OWN WEBSIT MEDIAPLAYER(WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER ONLY) So any users can see the MMS:// (Address) from(Html) source or from an source. He can not play my stream to OWN Windows Media Player or Embe them to any other site. What Should I Do for this? Pm me I can give you the Example who did it and You can not play or pu that mms on your own server or WMP. Thanks in advace becasue I am Totally new to WMS 2003 .

Build asp page that will create unique / onetime usage tokens (GUID or any other number, just use it once.) Build dynamic SMIL (Server side playlist) generator page (ASP also) that will check token, if it was issued and was it already used. If the token is valid, create server side playlist that streams, otherwise return some error code to users. That way, only users that connect trough your web page would have valid token. Even if they don't use it, but distribute it, because it is one time token, it would be that bad. Jerislav P.S.

Signaturejustin4u http://forums.techarena.in Hi, Justin, Jerislav provided a great summary of some WMS options for protecting your streams. I hope one of his suggestions meets your needs. As a side note, you mentioned live streaming - is your content live? If it is not, another option for on-demand streaming is to use the new IIS7 Media Pack (http://www.iis.net/default.aspx?tabid=22). The Bit Rate Throttling features provides the bandwidth efficiency and cost-savings of streaming, and Web Playlists provide a built-in URL obfuscation and session control feature that prevent end users from playing content out of order or from other clients. -Chris Signature-- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. > > I am new to windos media server. > > [quoted text clipped - 50 lines] > If you need any more detail, please send email, I sometimes loose > track to conversations. Thanx for Suggestion, I am thingking for Live stream and them re-stream them. I have Html and PHP pages. I am totaly new inthis Field. I m in way of understanding things. ASP Idea is great , but Peple can get the the URL from source and then ca be used for Few seconds , before the session generated URL expired live 10 to 15 or 20 seconds , they grab URL and put it on there on Re-stream Server. So I want to make it only works within My own Site.Anytime anyone try to leech not possible. Only works within my Own Domain name only. Thanks Justin Signaturejustin4u http://forums.techarena.in > Thanx for Suggestion, > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > http://forums.techarena.in Well you can upgrade your token check algorithm, by bonding IP address with token, preventing token sharing. But be ware, what ever you do, you will never get 100% safety. For such scenarios, you need DRM. Jerislav The most reliable way to protect your streams from leeching or in other terms prevent hot-linking is to write your own WMS authorization plug-in or use a ready-made third-party software such as Voynex Media Guard (http://voynex.com/wmsbilling). The main advantages of the WMS authorization plug-in is that there is no need to append any GUIDs to the URL, create login pages etc. The verification will be done on the server side using HTTP referrer.
