Frequently Asked Questions
What is RTMPE?
Encrypted Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMPE) is an encrypted version of RTMP. Many internet commentators believe that RTMPE is a Digital Rights Management Technology - infact it is not and Adobe say so as well. However see SWF Verification.
RTMPE was release with Adobe Flash Media Server 3 in 2008. Uptake has been slow but several sites are now starting to stream using this protocol. The main reason uptake of this protocol has been slow is that 15% more processing power is required to stream in RTMPE when compare to RTMP.
Jaksta can detect RTMPE streams and will download them if a supported playlist is detected. As the detected stream is encrypted Jaksta can not identify which stream in the playlist you are actually watching, so all streams in the playlist will be downloaded. Playlists normally contain multiple streams - each one is typically a different resolution. Its up to you which one(s) you would like to continue recording or cancel.
