@ srdva59 wanted a server that accepts a stream from a PC, enforces per-user logins, and serves playable video (originally targeted at Flash). Two important points: Flash is end-of-life and modern browsers no longer support it, so building around FLV/Flash will cause compatibility and security problems (see Adobe's official notice) (https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html).

A practical, current pattern is: ingest from the PC (OBS or a similar RTMP/SRT sender) -> media server -> deliver HTTP-friendly streams (HLS/DASH) to the browser. For a lightweight self-hosted stack, nginx with the nginx-rtmp module can receive an RTMP feed and produce HLS; it also exposes hooks (on_play/on_publish) that let an external web app validate credentials before allowing playback (https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module). Protecting playlists and segments is best done with signed, short-lived URLs or a secure-link layer so each logged-in user gets an expiring token rather than a permanent URL (nginx has a secure_link module for this) (https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_secure_link_module.html).

For commercial features (built-in auth callbacks, DRM, large scale) consider servers like Red5 or Wowza. Implementation notes: serve fragments over HTTPS, issue ephemeral tokens from the login system, validate tokens server-side on each play request, rotate signing keys, and avoid relying on client-side-only protection. As suggested, a server-side auth layer is required; issuing signed HLS manifests is a maintainable way to give per-user access without Flash.

Most Linux video players can handle a video stream, such as VLC or Kaffeine. I've used ffmpeg as the transcoder/streamer to pipe videos to VLC and Kaffeine in FLV (flash) format before.

ffmpeg also has a server component, ffserver. You might want to check into that.
