RTMP Sources:

1. Open (no authentication required)
2. Require password authentication

2. Require password authentication
3. RTSP publishing not allowed

Duplicate Stream Names:

1. Reject a second stream with the same name that's published to this application

Explanations:

RTMP Sources

Effectively manage source connections to your application via the RTMP protocol, such as those from RTMP-based encoders. By default, the "Require password authentication" option is chosen to enhance connection security.

Opt for "Open" to allow RTMP-based sources to connect without authentication, or choose "RTMP publishing not allowed" to block all connections from RTMP-based sources.

RTSP Sources

Efficiently control source connections to your application using the RTSP/RTP protocol, particularly from encoders initiating connections through the RTSP Announce method. The "Require password authentication" option is selected by default for added security.

Opt for "Open" to permit RTSP-based sources to connect without authentication, or select "RTSP publishing not allowed" to restrict all connections from RTSP-based sources.

Duplicate Stream Names

Prevent the publication of a new RTMP stream with the same name if an existing RTMP stream is already published to the application. This option ensures that clients playing the initial stream won't switch to the new stream after publication. Choose wisely to control the continuity of your streaming content.
