I was wondering how the development of the plex RTMPE player is going. TNT uses rtmpe and it doesn’t look like I can get it to play. I may be using the wrong player information, but for whatever reason, I am going to a site config. In one of elan’s posts he talked about how Plex will have local rtmpe player by 1.0. He skipped over .9 in his feature list, so I was wondering if this is still in the works, and if so, at what level is it?
Harley,
Sander’s more of an expert in rtmp that me but the e on the end of rtmpe stands for encrypted which bottom line means there’s nothing we can do to play them directly. Sometimes they just work using the regular rtmp player but mostly not. Unless I’m missing something I can’t see how any future Plex or PMS versions would support this decryption.
Is this what you were referring to in your question?

My bad. misread something on dev.plexapp
long term, rtmp and rtmpe will should eventually be handled natively by plex’s video player, rtmpdump has been merged into ffmpeg trunk, so native rtmp/e protocol support should (at least in theory) be something we get for free (or reasonably cheaply) with a future ffmpeg upgrade someday.
Jonny, despite what the E may stand for, rtmpe does not actually implement any sort of actual secure encryption, just cryptoprimitives using known constants. additionally the other protection mechanism often used by rtmpe streamers, swf verification, is also trivially ignored, as the verification keys are nothing but the file size and hash of the original player swf. Flash video just doesn’t really have any secure true drm solution equivalent to what you can get in silverlight.
I’m looking forward to getting rid of the site configurations.
Probably won’t happen: http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/24102-updates-to-hulu-plugin-xbmcs-is-much-better/page__view__findpost__p__156457
RTMPE is not the problem, it’s SWF Verification that’s the problem…
I read this post as well but thought this was only concerning the hulu plugin, not the framework in general. Probably you’re right and they won’t allow it for any plugin.
