[Live-devel] Encrypted program stream by RTP

Yes, you could do this using the following chain of objects:

At the sender:
         ByteStreamFileSource[*] -> EncryptionFilter -> SimpleRTPSink

and at the receivier:
         SimpleRTPSource -> DecryptionFilter -> some sink

where "EncryptionFilter" and "DecryptionFilter" would be new filter classes 
that you would write.

[*] Note that you must use the "preferredFrameSize" and "playTimePerFrame" 
parameters when you create your "ByteStreamFileSource", so that the 
streaming happens at the proper rate.
