[osflash] H.264 support

[Ian Thomas]

That's an odd one - I'm not sure how they could prevent it, legally.

Unless the Flash Player has a license saying 'you're not allowed to receive
data from a non-FMS server', in which case the users are the ones who get
stung, not Red5.

They could prevent it _practically_ by using some form of
password/encryption/handshaking, I guess. "Are you an FMS server?" "No"
"Well I'm not playing your stream, then..."
