Hello!
In the FV player pro’s hosting settings for Amazon S3, there is an option called “Amazon S3 Ajax” and it says “Check this to improve security of your Amazon S3 videos”.This sounds interesting, but i would like to know what this option actually does before enabling it on production. I have not been able to find an answer to this by browsing your site, so perhaps you can tell me what this option does and how it improves security?
Thank you very much! :)
Sincerely,
-Livi

It seems i have accidentally put this into a wrong forum. Right one would be “FV player” -> “Requests and feedback”.
Sorry!
Hello Livi,
with that option enabled the valid URL of the video on Amazon S3 is no longer part of the HTML code, so it’s impossible to obtain it using some website crawler tool. That doesn’t mean you can’t find the URL in the browser network tools, but that’s much harder to automate.
I recommend you read our overview of video protection here: https://foliovision.com/player/securing-your-video/protecting-video-from-downloading
Thanks,
Martin
