* file: Add an option for following a file that is being writtenMartin Storsjö2016-03-24
| | | | | | | | Using this requires setting the rw_timeout option to make it terminate, alternatively using the interrupt callback (if used via the API). Signed-off-by: Martin Storsjö <martin@martin.st>
* avio: Add an option 'rw_timeout'Andrey Utkin2016-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | If set non-zero, this limits duration of the retry_transfer_wrapper() loop, thus affecting ffurl_read*(), ffurl_write(). As soon as one single byte is successfully received/transmitted, the timer restarts. This has further changes by Michael Niedermayer and Martin Storsjö.

* http: enable icy metadata by default.Andrew Stone2014-08-13
| | | | | | | It won't hurt servers that don't care about the header, and those that do will include it by default. Signed-off-by: Anton Khirnov <anton@khirnov.net>
* Add Icecast protocolMarvin Scholz2014-08-04
| | | | | | Icecast is basically a convenience wrapper around the HTTP protocol. Signed-off-by: Martin Storsjö <martin@martin.st>

* tls: Add support for listen modeMartin Storsjö2013-09-26
| | | | | | | | | Also add options for specifying a certificate and key, which can be used both when operating as client and as server. Partially based on a patch by Peter Ross. Signed-off-by: Martin Storsjö <martin@martin.st>
* tls: Add options for verifying the peer certificateMartin Storsjö2013-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A file containing the trusted CA certificates needs to be supplied via the ca_file AVOption, unless the TLS library has got a system default file/database set up. This doesn't check the hostname of the peer certificate with openssl, which requires a non-trivial piece of code for manually matching the desired hostname to the string provided by the certificate, not provided as a library function. That is, with openssl, this only validates that the received certificate is signed with the right CA, but not that it is the actual server we think we're talking to. Verification is still disabled by default since we can't count on a proper CA database existing at all times. Signed-off-by: Martin Storsjö <martin@martin.st>

* doc: Explain that the default RTMP user agent is different when publishingMartin Storsjö2013-08-10
| | | | | | | | | The fact that a different user agent is used is cruicial for getting publishing authentication working. (When using librtmp, this other user agent has to be specified manually, but that's not needed with the libavformat internal RTMP support.) Signed-off-by: Martin Storsjö <martin@martin.st>

* rtmp: Add support for SWFVerificationSamuel Pitoiset2012-08-15
| | | | | | | | | Specifies how the server verifies client SWF files before allowing the files to connect to an application. Verifying SWF files is a security measure that prevents someone from creating their own SWF files that can attempt to stream your resources. Signed-off-by: Martin Storsjö <martin@martin.st>
* rtmp: Add a new option 'rtmp_subscribe'Samuel Pitoiset2012-08-07
| | | | | | | This option specifies the name of live stream to subscribe. Defaults to rtmp_playpath. Signed-off-by: Martin Storsjö <martin@martin.st>

* RTMPE protocol supportSamuel Pitoiset2012-07-23
| | | | | | | | | | This adds two protocols, but one of them is an internal implementation detail just used as an abstraction layer/generalization in the code. The RTMPE protocol implementation uses ffrtmpcrypt:// as an alternative to the tcp:// protocol. This allows moving most of the lower level logic out from the higher level generic rtmp code.

* rtmp: Don't send every flv packet in a separate HTTP request in RTMPTSamuel Pitoiset2012-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | Add a new option 'rtmp_flush_interval' that allows specifying the number of packets to write before sending it off as a HTTP request. This is mostly relevant for RTMPT - for plain RTMP, it only controls how often we check the socket for incoming packets, which shouldn't affect the performance in any noticeable way.

| | | | | | | | | | This adds two protocols, but one of them is an internal implementation detail just used as an abstraction layer/generalization in the code. The RTMPT protocol implementation uses rtmphttp:// as an alternative to the tcp:// protocol. This allows moving most of the lower level logic out from the higher level generic rtmp code.

| | | | | | | | | Allow using connection parameters in order to append arbitrary AMF data like "B:1 S:authMe O:1 NN:code:1.23 NS:flag:ok O:0" to the Connect message. You can pass these parameters through the -rtmp_conn option. Signed-off-by: Martin Storsjö <martin@martin.st>

* libavformat: Rename the applehttp protocol to hlsMartin Storsjö2012-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Keep the old protocol name around for backwards compatibility until the next bump. Deprecate the method of implicitly assuming the nested protocol. For applehttp://server/path, it might have felt logical, but supporting hls://server/path isn't quite as intuitive. Therefore only support hls+http://server/path from now on. Using this protocol at all is discouraged, since the hls demuxer is more complete and fits into the architecture better. There have been cases where the protocol implementation worked better than the demuxer, but this should no longer be the case. Signed-off-by: Martin Storsjö <martin@martin.st>
