Airplay is not working in password protected videos and pages by apache

blsmedia18 1 year, 9 months ago

Hi,

We are using many years FV Player Pro (WordPress) version.
Our membership website based on Apache protection and all videos we keep in protected apache folders.
We use it like this (.htaccess) to protect videos and pages:

AuthUserfile /home/../../.htpasswd
<Limit GET>
require valid-user
</Limit>

Problem: Airplay is not working in protected pages, but we have all videos protected.
If I put video to not protected folder then everything working.
Question: How to make airplay work in apache protected area?

Hello blsmedia18,

it’s not easy as AirPlay can have different user agents.

For example on Apple TV it’s going to be actually “Apple TV”.

Something like this might work:
```
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Authentication Required"
AuthUserFile {your path to .htaccess}
<RequireAny>
    Require expr %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} =~ m#Apple TV#
    Require valid-user
</RequireAny>
```
Thanks,
Martin
