Stop playing/publishing using play token

[lastpeony]

Feature request:
Users of AMS should be able to stop playing for protocols webrtc, hls and dash using play token.
Implement force-stop publishing using play token.

Possible Solution:
Implement a token black list.
If token is in blacklist hls/dash should stop(need proof of concept) and webrtc should stop after client is disconnected first.
If token is black listed user should not be able to publish, not sure if this will stop already publishing user.

Thank you for the issue @lastpeony

I agree with you. I'm just thinking about the implementation because making it simple/easy is critical.

Hello,
I have tested these implementations with a standalone server and a cluster and it is working fine.

Below are the test scenarios.

Stop WebRTC playback

1. Blaclist the JWT player token
2. Get the WebRTC viewerId for the stream with getWebRTCViewerList call
3. Stop WebRTC viewer with stopPlaying call

Stop HLS/Dash Playback
The HLS and Dash viewers can be stopped by blacklisting the JWT play token.

Stop a Publishing stream

1. Blacklist the JWT publish token.
2. Force the stream to stop with stopStreaming API call.

If the token(s) is removed from the blacklist, then it can be used to publish/play the streams again.

There are two more utility API calls
/jwt-black-list-delete-expired It deletes all expired and blacklisted tokens from the database once the token is expired
/jwt-black-list-clear This API call whitelists all blacklisted JWT tokens. Currently, it is using the DELETE method so it needs to be revised with POST method.

Thank you

Use subscriber block feature to achieve same functionality.
