Questions[rtmp](server)

Standard practice for RTMP is still to have a plain text stream key out on the wires.

I want to acccept RTMPS streams from encoders to NGINX however the RTMP module does not yet have RTMPS.

I'm not interested in all the relay solutions to allow taking an RTMP stream and sending to a place like facebook over RTMPS because the same security flaw is still there because at some point you are passing the keys over plain text.

My question is where can I find the reference specs on RTMPS? I'd like to know what keys are needed to make a proper handshake between an RTMPS source such as OBS and NGINX and then I will use the connection with the RTMP module. Can normal keys and an authority like Let's Encrypt be used on a server so that it can make the handshake with a RTMPS encoder?

I've seen stunnel used to wrap RTMP in TLS. Is it possible to do the reverse -- use stunnel to receive RTMPS and convert back to RTMP for the RTMP module?

By default nginx rtmp module records video stream in .flv format if record option is enabled, but I need .mp4

I found that video can be converted to .mp4 when record has finished with exec_record_done callback and ffmpeg

Is there any way to record video in .mp4 format or at least convert it to this format on the fly?

I am trying to use HAproxy in front of an RTMP nginx server.

It does connect but it does not play the video.

I have 2 servers: one with nginx using RTMP and another one with HAproxy.

This is the HAproxy config:

listen rtmp :1935
mode tcp
 balance roundrobin
server s1 rtmp_server_ip:1935 check

I have also tried to set it to port 1936.

This is the nginx RTMP config:

rtmp
 {
    server
     {
        listen 1935;
        listen 1936 proxy_protocol;

        notify_method get;
        on_play http://127.0.0.1/vod_handler;
        application vod
        {
                play /path_to_videos/uploads/;
        }
}
   }

This is how the setup should be:

web >> haproxy >> nginx RTMP

So I've been bouncing between CDN's trying to optimize our serving solution. We're serving short video clips into our code that display either an html5 video element (MP4 or OGG) or a flash swf (FLV) as a fallback.

We're using Amazon S3 for the storage of these media files and CloudFront as our content delivery network. We've been experimenting with the flash fallback using CloudFront's Flash Media Server distribution and we're streaming the FLV into the Flash fallback. This works great :)

However, I'd like to accomplish the same setup (Origin > Streaming CDN > Client) with the MP4 and OGG files into the HTML5 placement. To do this, I need to stream them over RTP or RTSP, rather than CloudFront & FMS's RTMP.

So far I haven't had much luck finding a CDN that supports RTSP streams. Is there a way to use CloudFront's Streaming Server and somehow convert the stream protocol into RTSP using the mp4 and ogg as the source files?

(I should also note that price is a fairly big factor here. The project is sort of dependent on the price point on a per TB/GB/MB level.)

I have been put in charge of setting up a CDN account for streaming video but am not actually running the site that will host the content. How can I test that a published RTMP URL is working? Do I need to create a test page with a Flash video player or is there a simple tool that can consume RTMP streams that can be used to test? The URL is in the following format:

rtmp://example.fcod.llnwd.net/a1111/e11/test/example/file.flv
