We're using FMS 3.0, unfortunately the downloading software we're attempting to block (Jaksta) can handle an rtmpe stream no problem. We have the SWF verification enabled and that prevents the software from opening a new stream, but it's still able to record the stream as it plays in the video player. Our thought was that if we can apply some sort of non-standard encryption to the FLV file and then decrypt it prior to being played in the video player, that the recorded version would still be the encrypted one and the downloaded file would not play. We'll continue to look into this and if we happen upon a reasonable solution I'll post it back.
Thanks for the help!
