Hi FV Player Support,
I’m using FV Player with Coconut to deliver HLS-encrypted videos, but my videos still seem easy to download. I suspect I may have accidentally disabled a setting that affects secure playback.
Could you please guide me on:
Ensuring that HLS encryption is properly applied to my uploaded videos.
Enabling any necessary features (like tokenized keys or Stream Loader) to prevent unauthorized downloads.
Verifying that my Coconut + FV Player setup matches the secure setup used in your demo/test videos.
Any detailed instructions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for your help!
Best regards,
Dr mustafa

Hi Martin,
Thank you for your reply.
Here is a link to a test video on my demo site where the issue occurs: https://snow-louse-350558.hostingersite.com/contact/
I have enabled the encryption option as shown in the attached screenshot.Could you please check if the HLS encryption is properly applied and advise me on any additional steps to ensure secure playback?
Thank you very much for your support!
Best regards,
Dr. Mustafa
Hello Dr. Mustafa,
That checkbox of course only affects the new videos which you upload. Are you sure your video was created with that checkbox enabled?
Please check in wp-admin -> FV Player -> Coconut Jobs. You can hit the video name in the “Target” column which will show the encoding job arguments as sent to Coconut. Will it show the following?
"encryption_mode": "...", "encryption_key": "...", "encryption_key_uri": "..."Thanks,
Martin
No it doesn’t show it,
This is what i see :{ "settings": { "ultrafast": true }, "input": { "url": "REMOVED FOR SECURITY PURPOSES" }, "notification": { "type": "http", "url": "REMOVED FOR SECURITY PURPOSES" }, "outputs": { "jpg:320x": { "path": "//cdn.foliovision.com/New-Project/sprite.jpg", "interval": 0, "sprite": { "limit": 1000 }, "vtt": { "filename": "sprite.vtt" } }, "jpg:300x": { "path": "//cdn.foliovision.com/New-Project/thumbnail.jpg" }, "jpg:1280x": { "path": "//cdn.foliovision.com/New-Project/thumbnail-large.jpg" }, "httpstream": { "if": "{{ input.height }} <= 2160", "hls": { "path": "/New-Project", "version": 3 }, "playlist_name": "index", "variants": [ "mp4:240p_320k::maxrate=960k", "mp4:480p_700k::maxrate=2100k", "mp4:720p_4000k::maxrate=12000k", "mp4:1080p_6000k::maxrate=18000k", "mp4:0x1440_10000k::maxrate=30000k", "mp4:2160p_16000k::maxrate=48000k" ] } } }
Another question,
Should i turn on any one of these settings? And regarding to last two options, are these increasing the video security if i turn them on ?
Hello Mustafa,
Please make sure to update FV Player to the latest version.
Please enable wp-admin -> FV Player -> Coconut Jobs -> Settings -> Debug. You will see a message like this pointing you to the log file:
Logging into fv-player-coconut-8-debug-….log. Disabling Debug will delete the log file.
Then upload a new video – making sure the “Encryption” checkbox is enabled before you start the upload. We will need to take a look at the file.
The “Chromecast Encrypted HLS” and “Cookie Protected Encrypted HLS” settings should be kept disabled if video download protection is more important than Chromecast or playback using iCloud Private Relay.
Thanks,
Martin
Thank you martin, I’m tried to upload another video and worked!
