Hello Bryan,
it may satisfy some users, but not myself.
When using mosty rtmp ingest from different location on internet at same time there are a lot of reasons why a published rtmp get unpublished.
One of them could be internet cut, a reboot of encoder, …..
In this case the STream cannot be republished without trouble.
In summary:
I believe there are some situation that a kind of "createingestalias" would be good. But I am searching for another solution which allows both of follwing needs.
a. a bit secured rtmp ingest from internet (external)
b. simplyfied complexity for backbone/internal usage (either on privat LAN or on CDN Backbone Infrastructure)
