CloudFront: Access to video forbidden (HTTP 403)!

[Solved]

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › Troubleshooting › CloudFront: Access to video forbidden (HTTP 403)!

  • Marek M. 11 years ago

    Hello,
    I’ve just changed Amazon s3 Protected content for Cloudfront option.
    I’ve followed your instructions but have “Access to video forbidden (HTTP 403)!” warning.
    What’s done:
    1. I’ve updated url in video shortcode for new one: https://something.cloudfront.net/video.mp4
    2. I’ve removed s3 Access and Secret Key, created Cloudfront ones and put it in admin area.
    What can be wrong? I hope you will answer for this.

    Hello Marek,

    please upgrade to FV Player Pro version 0.2.9.0.1. If you don’t see it in your plugin updates right now, you can just download the ZIP file from https://foliovision.com/edit from your account. Just deactivate and delete the FV Player Pro plugin and then install the new version from the ZIP file.

    This version adds a check for the format of the CloudFront Private Key. After the upgrade check Settings -> FV WordPress Flowplayer -> CloudFront (Pro), under “Private Key:” it should say “Your Private Key file is present. Click to put in a new one.”

    If it doesn’t then please check if your Private Key which you pasted starts with ”


    BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY


    ” and ends with ”


    END RSA PRIVATE KEY


    “.

    This will determine if there is an issue with your configuration or the PHP on your server.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hi Martin,

    It’s working now :) Thanks a lot. It was bad private key. I didn’t know (nothing about it in docs) it should be pasted with ”


    BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY


    ” and ends with ”


    END RSA PRIVATE KEY——

    I have last question. What bitrade do you recommend? Sth beetween 2000-3000 should be fine?

    Regards,
    Marek

    Hello Marek,

    check our guide here for tips, the “First prepare your MP4 files – use the above parameters” slide gives you hints about what resolution with what bitrate should be used: https://foliovision.com/2014/05/video-wordcamp-presentation

    Thanks,
