Multiple SRT passphrases and rotate passphrases

[ericsouza]

hey 👋🏻

Does OvenMediaEngine supports rotating the SRT passphrase without interrupting active live streams somehow? I’m thinking of a scenario where the passphrase might be compromised. Maybe something like having two passphrases and handle like this:

1. Keep the current passphrase for existing connections
2. Use a new passphrase for any new connections

Once no clients are using the old one, we’d rotate and making the new passphrase the current, and generate another for future connections.

I think we can achieve this by being able to set at least two pass phrase and OME can accept stream that uses any of the them. A rotate job would have the knowleged about which pass phrase it must replace and update the configuration file.

For my case I was thinking about rotate everyday or every week

This should be possible in OME Enterprise, via its ability to hot-reload the engine config. It also has other features specific to your use case such as live watermarking and WebRTC playback session management, so it may be worth a look.
