    Hello Freddie,

    I tried to use the Amazon Drive link on my test site and the video played for me.

    Perhaps we are caching the Amazon Drive video URL for too long. Could you please reinstall FV Player Pro from a fresh ZIP file which you download at https://foliovision.com/my-licenses ? You will have to deactivate and delete the current FV Player Pro plugin you are using – no worries, no settings and no videos will be lost.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    yeah l think that is the problem is that the generate cache file stay for too long.
    l reinstall the plugin but still is not working

    can you made the plugin request a new link each timer a user clicks on the play.
    because now the link expire and then the video don’t work

    Hello Freddie,

    please reinstall FV Player Pro the same way again. I adjusted the caching for Amazon Drive down to 5 seconds. Let’s see if that helps.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    l download the pro version from your site
    https://…..com/testtttttttttt/

    but still not playing

    Martin 8 years ago

    Hello freddie r.,

    I was able to play the same videos on my test site or Foliovision.com.

    I came to conclusion that Amazon Drive is actively blocking your domain. I was playing with the HTTP headers and I could see that changing the domain in the Referer header to something else fixes the problem.

    However this header is controled by the web browser directly and we cannot adjust it.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    I test it in other domain and the problem is the same

    Martin 8 years ago

    Hello Freddie,

    what other domain are you using? Perhaps the failure response is cached on the Amazon CDN?

    You can see the videos playing here: https://foliovision.com/player/demos/amazon-drive -> “Freddie’s Videos”

    Thanks,
    Martin

    l see that after a while the videos works, but looks like the link cache stay there. how can l set the link to expire sooner?

    Hello Freddie,

    please post your answers into our support forum. I have reposted a couple of your answers from your emails for convenience.

    It seems the issue is with how it’s cached on Amazon end. For example on your anime website it keeps failing no matter if it’s cached or not. It actually gets the same MP4 link as my test site gets. And while that link plays on my site, it won’t play on your – as I found because of the referrer information.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    So what is to be the problems?

    Martin 8 years ago

    Hello freddie r.,

    my conclusion was that Amazon Drive is blocking your domain, so you can try contacting them, but I’m not sure how successfuly you will be as they are probably not interested in people hosting videos on it. It might work well for a small volume of videos.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    l call then and they say they don’t block any domain

    Martin 8 years ago

    Hello Freddie,

    I checked the video on your site and it won’t play for me. Here is proof:

    curl 'https://content-na.drive.amazonaws.com/cdproxy/templink/j4NwKC-WABB2W26QiX9m05G5bcJ-5hje7y53FfisthgeJxFPc' -H 'Referer: https://animeidhentai.com/best-player/'

    However if you change the referring domain to something else it plays. So they are actively blocking your domain.

    Thanks,
    Martin
