Pay-per-view: Limit client to specified maximum concurrent connections or bandwidth

Is there any way we can limit a client (authorised by PPV handler) to only a specified maximum number of concurrent connections or maybe limit the amount of bandwith available to that specific client?

if you authenticate your clients and can assign unique IDs to your clients you can check how many streams each unique clients view and stop signing urls for your clients. Nimble cannot distinguish one client from another and your web site need to use login information for given client to assign client's id appropriately so that based on that id you can check how many streams client currently watch and block it temparary if limit exceed

Thats what I thought, yes... the only issue I'm dealing with is, how do I know (from the website) when a client has closed their connection (stopped vieing the stream), so that I can allow subsequent connections again?

you will see clients disconnect in ppv handler

Perfect. Thanks

Jacques, please can you help me.

Do you have any working PPV code examples I could see for the PPV?

I have not done PHP/MySQL etc in many years and it will take me a long time to get this working.

It would be a great help if you have any pages/code that shows how to integrate with database to see if user has paid / has membership or not.

I have seen the basic examples on github but for me to go from that to a full working system will be a very difficult task.

Thank you

Hi,

Please take a look at this Guide:
http://blog.wmspanel.com/2014/03/paranoids-guide-to-internet-video-streaming.html

And also example on our github: https://github.com/WMSPanel/paywall-code-samples-wmsauth/tree/master/pay-per-view

Thanks, had not seen the first guide with the database queries.

Hopefully that will help me.
