  - Append arbitrary AMF data to the Connect message. The type must be B for Boolean, N for number, S for string, O for object, or Z for null. For Booleans the data must be either 0 or 1 for FALSE or TRUE, respectively. Likewise for Objects the data must be 0 or 1 to end or begin an object, respectively. Data items in subobjects may be named, by prefixing the type with 'N' and specifying the name before the value, e.g. NB:myFlag:1. This option may be used multiple times to construct arbitrary AMF sequences. E.g.

installation

Linux

Tutorial for CentOS: http://wiki.rtmpd.com/tutorial_full_centos_build

I will build the software in /opt/crtmpserver and install it in /server

download source (UPDATE 11/2015, server is down)

svn co --username anonymous https://svn.rtmpd.com/crtmpserver/branches/1.0 crtmpserver

some dependencies:

yum install cmake openssl-devel
apt-get install subversion libssl-dev cmake g++ libtinyxml-dev libtinyxml2-dev libsslcommon2-dev

do compile the source specifying the prefix you want, /usr/local is the default

cd builders/cmake
cmake -DCRTMPSERVER_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local .
make install

now let's go in /usr/local/etc/ and use crtmpserver.lua.sample to generate your crtmpserver.lua changing the rootDirectory=" variable in applications= { /usr/local/lib/crtmpserver/applications

install the certificates:

cp /opt/crtmpserver/builders/cmake/applications/appselector/server.* /usr/local/lib/crtmpserver/applications/appselector/

link your own media directory (in this case I'm linking the Videos directory located in my home) to the player application media foder:

ln -s ~/Videos /usr/local/lib/crtmpserver/applications/flvplayback/mediaFolder
cp /opt/crtmpserver/builders/cmake/applications/flvplayback/users.lua /usr/local/lib/crtmpserver/applications/flvplayback/

it should be possible now to execute the compiled and configured program

UPDATE 11/ 2015 (GCC > 4.6)

needed to do this sloppy-job to be able to compile, but I'm sure there's a cleaner way.

ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libssl.so /usr/lib/
ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so /usr/lib/
ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdl.so /usr/lib/

configuration

/opt/crtpmserver/configs

all.debug.lua
flvplayback.lua

apps

Problems

sometimes the server gets stuck and when one tries to start the streaming it fails with a server error (even though the connection to the server works)

1448549708:3:/opt/crtmpserver/sources/thelib/src/application/baseclientapplication.cpp:227:SignalStreamRegistered:Stream NR(76) with name `` registered to application `flvplayback` from protocol IR(75)

firewall

deamon opens the following sockets:

netstat -putan|grep crtmp
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:6665                0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      13841/crtmpserver

so a generic iptables configuration could be this:

-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 1935 -j ACCEPT 
-A INPUT -p udp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT
