S3 bucket url signature rather than cloudfront signed url

[Solved]

Scott M. 8 years, 7 months ago

Hi guys,

I recently purchased the FV Player Pro license.

Great plugin!!

Videos play fine when I use the cloudfront distribution url.

However, I’m having trouble getting my cloudfront videos to play when I use a cname url instead of the cloudfront distribution url.

It seems the fv player generates different url signatures when I use the cname – it’s generating S3 bucket url signature rather than cloudfront signed url using the cname I configured.

I’ve attached a doc that shows screenshots of this – hopefully it sheds some light on what’s wrong.

I look forward to your reply.

Regards,
Scott

Hello Scott,

thank you your kind words!

I checked your issue – are you also using our Amazon S3 protection? Please let us know what setting you have there, it appears that your custom Cloudfront domain is getting matched by your Amazon S3 bucket.

You can try to enter bigger part of your Amazon S3 bucket URL into Amazon S3 settings. For example if you are using URLs like https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/t…y/video.mp4 then you can try to put in “amazonaws.com/t…y” rather than just “t…y”. I think that should help, but make sure you check your Amazon S3 videos afterwards if they play.

Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin,

Yes, hat fixed it… my s3 bucket was “t…y.com” and after changing it to “amazonaws.com/t…y.com” both the s3 protected videos and cloudfront videos play correctly!

Thanks for the fast response!!

Regards,
Scott
