Hi
I just bought FV player yesterday to create my video website.My idea is creating funny video website, the user can watch the video and download it, But:
1- I want to secure the video and video download link, Becuase maybe somebody will put the links on their website and that will be lost my server bandwidth.
2- Is there idea to prevent anyone re-upload my videos to their websites??
can you answer me, please?

Hi Anas Bin,
1. Please disable option for video embed. Go to post interface options and make sure embed option is NOT ticked.
2. The best solution our player currently offers is an encrypted HLS stream delivered via Amazon CloudFront. As you can see for yourself in this demo, the video is very hard to download and even if someone manages to do that, it will require the decryption key even when viewed offline.
The stream itself is compatible with almost all devices and browsers and adjusts quality automatically. Here is our guide about HLS streaming, in case you wanted to learn more about this format – Using HLS With FV Player.
This setup requires FV Player Pro and Amazon S3, CloudFront and using the AWS Elastic Transcoder. Here is a guide on how to set it up – How to setup encrypted HLS stream with Amazon Elastic Transcoder.
If you want to know more about video security in general, you can read our article Protecting Video from Downloading.
Thanks,
Lucia
Thanks Lucia for help
But I mean in no.2: I want the visitors to download the videos but is there any method to stop them to re-upload on they website??
I see this plugin: Add Secure Video to Your Membership Site. Is good for what I want ?!
could you check this page please, no video work!
Hi Anas Bin!
1. Sorry I send a bit wrong information here: To disable embedding for all the videos please choose option “Disable embed button” in sitewide FV Player defaults.
If you do not mind people downloading video there would be no option how to stop people from re-uploading it to their site as they would have already a physical file. You can protect your videos with DRM text. This way you can see if someone is using your video.
But I think your worry is more about protecting your bandwidth. Then you want to stop embed of your videos. Embedding allows you to take your video — or someone else’s video — and post it on a web page outside of yours. For example, you can embed a video on other blog and then people can watch your video there without having to visit your site. You might also want to restrict some of the social sharing or email sharing. That is up to you.
To disable embed of your videos please follow step 1. Here is more information about sharing on social media and email sharing

Hi Anas Bin!
Could you send me a link to the page with examples of a video that does not work?
Thanks,
Lucia
Hi Anas Bin!
Looks like there might be issue with video file itself as our video plays without issues. Could you please send us a report via our built-in video checker? The way the video checker works is that you need to come in as admin and open the video checker and send us a report about the video. It works on desktops.
You could also use the built-in video checker, take a screenshot of the report and post it here – we won’t publish it.
Thanks,
Lucia
This show me this picture!!
Hello Anas,
could you please review your video ads? https://foliovision.com/player/ads/using-preroll-postroll-ads
It appears that you have entered just “#” as the Video URL of one of the ads and that confused our player – it can’t find such video.
For your main video you are using the FLV video format, which is deprecated and should not be used – it won’t play on mobile: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/encoding#flash-only
Thanks,

Hello Anas,
thank you for postin more samples. Even the “this is Mp4 video without ads:” player has the same video ad in front of it.
What did you do to disable the video ad for that player? Please post the shortcode that it’s using.
Thanks,
Martin
this is FLV video:
[fvplayer src=".....flv" width="640" height="480" ad="ads"]
[fvplayer_download src=".....flv" caption="Click this link to download the video"]
this is Mp4 video with ads:
[fvplayer src="......mp4" width="1280" height="720" align="right" ad="ads"]
[fvplayer_download src=".....mp4" caption="Click this link to download the video"]
this is Mp4 video without ads:
[fvplayer src=".....mp4"]
[fvplayer_download src=".....mp4" caption="Click this link to download the video"]
Hello Anas,
the issue is that you are using a bad video ad. Please check the guide which I linked to before: https://foliovision.com/player/ads/using-preroll-postroll-ads
The shortcode argument to disable such video ad is preroll=”no”, the guide shows you how to get that using the shortcode editor.
Thanks,
Martin
Hi Anas Bin!
If you want to protect your video from download please read our guide which option would suit you the best.
As I mentioned earlier best protection our player currently offers is an encrypted HLS stream delivered via Amazon CloudFront. A video is very hard to download and even if someone manages to do that, it will require the decryption key even when viewed offline.
