Which are the reasons to use also Bunny CDN other than Digital Ocean spaces?
If I only use Digital Ocean Spaces, can I use encrypted HLS?

Hello Adamo,
yes, you can theoretically only use DigitalOcean Spaces with encrypted HLS.
The encoding and encryption part is handled by Coconut. Bunny is only a content delivery network – ensuring reliable playback anywhere. Thanks to its capabilities and price, it was our choice for Pro users.
The free users do not get the encryption, and the CDN of choice for them is the DigitalOcean Spaces CDN.
However, this is easier said than done. As you are a Pro user, FV Player Coconut will require you to use BunnyCDN as of now. We plan on making it less rigid in the future. Right now, I can discuss with my team whether we could arrange something for you.
Thanks,
MariaOk, so as far as I understand, I have only one of two choices:
1. Digital Ocean CDN without HLS
2. Bunny CDN with HLSI cannot have the third option:
3. Digital Ocean CDN WITH HLSAm I understanding right?
Hello Adamo,
yes, free FV Player with FV Player Coconut lets you serve unprotected HLS streams from Digital Ocean Spaces.
With FV Player Pro you get the encrypted HLS streaming using Bunny.net CDN which adds additional video protection using URL tokens.
These are the 2 setups which we support in the setup wizard. It would be possible to not use Bunny.net CDN in the setup with encrypted HLS, but the video protection would be lower.
Another interesting setup might be to store the video files on Bunny.net instead of Digital Ocean Spaces, but we like to keep the files and their CDN serving separate. It lets us put up backup CDNs for example, or just switch the CDN providers when needed.
Thanks,
MartinOk, very clear explanation: thank you! :)
