Is it possible to hide the url of the vimeo video from the html source of the page?
Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › How to … › Hide Vimeo URL
Hello Luca,
the URLs in HTML could be obfuscated, but then they would have to be de-coded in JavaScript. So you could potentially use a proper encryption too, but the decryption code would have to be in JavaScript – including the decryption keys. So for a programmer it would be possible to figure it out and keep stealing your video URLs.
On top of that the video URL would still show in browser developer tools in the Network tab.
That’s why we haven’t added such protection yet. Good news is that there are other options to boost the security of your Vimeo videos.
1. When setting up Vimeo https://foliovision.com/player/video-hosting/how-to-use-vimeo , make sure to also use the privacy settings: https://foliovision.com/player/video-hosting/how-to-use-vimeo#privacy
2. Vimeo, just like many other popular video hosting platforms, offers standard level of security by default, which is easy to become a target. In order to protect it, we have developed a robust add-on. You can read more about it and download it here: https://foliovision.com/player/securing-your-video/secure-videos-security
Thanks,
