Hi,
I’ve setup fv wp flowplayer with cloudfront for test it. This work well but I need to hide the video’s links for not download it by users. The users could be able to watch the video only online (streaming). This plugin can do that?
I find the link essentially in the “Inspector” of the browserThanks.

Hi Mariano,
Please have a look at our RTMP streaming documentation. Only RTMP will stop a determined user from downloading the mp4 file. I
https://foliovision.com/player/serving-private-cloudfront
https://foliovision.com/player/rtmp-streamsThere are some serious issues with mobile compatibility if you do not provide an MP4 (downloadable with special software) version.
There are no easy answers. If security is the utmost importance, compatibility will suffer. If compatibility is of the utmost importance, security will suffer. In most cases, it’s impossible to stop determined users from making copies (screen capture in the worst case) so in my opinion timing out the videos so the link itself cannot be shared easily covers the security needs of 90% of sites.
Later this year, we’ll spend some more time on locked down streaming so whatever is possible in terms of security will be fully supported. Viable security: without six different master files and six different streaming servers, few small businesses have time to maintain that kind of a setup. Large businesses are already served by Brightcode which does do all this but costs 10x as much as any other streaming option (unless you can buy in huge bulk: Brightcove rates for huge corporate clients are much lower and have little to do with their retail pricing).

Thanks Alec,
I’ll build my project in this way.
I see in te plugin setting some upcoming features in pro version like “Amazon Cloudfront protected content”. I’ll try it then. Do you have some ideas about the date of release?
Mariano, the main security features (including Cloudfront) are already released in Pro. No one has better security technology than we do. If you haven’t bought pro yet, you don’t have access to most of the security features.
Read the documentation I sent you please.
Thanks.
Alec
Great ! I’ll buy it so. I’ve be confused in the features of free and pro version. But now I see clearly.
Thanks
Mariano
