Implementing Amazon S3 so URL expires. Is RTMP Cloudfront just as secure?

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › Requests and Feedback › Implementing Amazon S3 so URL expires. Is RTMP Cloudfront just as secure?

  • Emptymind 11 years, 5 months ago

    I am setting up my video to stream from Amazon S3 on a restricted web page to members. I need URLs to expire so the video cannot be accessed or shared. I followed your guide to create IAM and get access keys. I get the video playing.
    I would now like to use RTMP Cloudfront to stream the mp4 video – is RTMP just as secure? Or there issues I should know? Thanks.

    Hello Emptymind,

    we updated our Amazon S3 guide with the RTMP instructions: http://foliovision.com/wordpress/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/secure-amazon-s3-guide#rtmp

    Unfortunately the video files need “Everbody” to have Open/View permissions (see step 7. in the “Setting up CloudFront distribution – RTMP” section of the document).

    RTMP works over the CloudFront distribution which is different from Amazon S3. It requires a different set of access keys. Including this feature is on our list.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    So I should hold off implementing Cloudfront until it is secure? – S3 is not so bad for hosting but at least it is secure.
    I just bought the license – great player!

    Hello Emptymind,

    if you want to protect your videos from hotlinking, the you will have to wait until we add download protections for Cloudfront.

    Thanks,
    Martin
