Question

public boolean connect(IConnection conn, IScope scope, Object[] params)
    {
            IClient client = conn.getClient();
            log.info( "app connect " + conn.getClient().getId() );
            client.setAttribute( "stamp", new Long( 0 ) );
        return true;
    }

This is the method which is being called every time Client is connected at my Custom Application in Red5 Server ,so is there a way to identify if a Client is Subscriber (Consumer ,Viewer) or Publisher (User which streams at my server).

Answer 1

To disallow or allow publish or subscribe a user, you can use those methods inside appStart callback method:

• registerStreamPlaybackSecurity
• registerStreamPublishSecurity

For more, look to the:

I’m using jRuby, and it’s very easy to do so:

registerStreamPlaybackSecurity do |scope, name, start, len, flush|
  false # no playback allowed
end
registerStreamPublishSecurity do |scope, name, mode|
  rand(1) % 1 == 0 # publishing (recording) sometimes allowed, sometimes no
end
