Publish control

Before your RTMP or RTSP live stream gets into processing, you may want to use publish control framework for Nimble Streamer media server to manage all incoming connections from your customers.
You'll create a handler application which will be able to deny un-wanted connections according to your own criteria and also disconnect any active publishers if they break your rules during the streaming process.
