Streaming of recorded content works with OpenCDN relaying, if
$RTSPpassword in etc/RRDMconfig.pm is set, and $RTSPauth_enable in
etc/NodeConfig is set. Clip streaming from an Helix server should work
anyway.

yes, that's it, the other Helix flavours don't support relaying. The
trial version is limited in operations, to 100 concurrent streams. I
don't know how much is the cost for a full licence, but I guess it is
not so cheap. The 30 days time limit is somewhat ephemeral, as if you
don't shut down the server, it continues operation also after the 30
days limit, and if it don't starts again, you can download another 30-
day key, and continue.
