Hi guys,

Today I opened an account in AWS S3 to upload a couple of videos that i want to be streamed to my clients.

But i was testing in a couple of browsers (Safari, Firefox and Chrome) and only in Firefox the videos are streamed in the Safari and Chrome the files are immediately downloaded.

So my question is:

There is any way to block downloads and configure it to stream the video files? My files are used in mp4 format.

Thanks in advance,
Morg

    Are you using something like Jplayer or something else to stream it? If you are just putting a straight link, remember you need to format the video for each browser. For example, MP4 is works natively with Firefox, but not with Chrome and Safari. For Chrome and safari it needs to be in .webm format.

    You should be using Cloudfront with S3 anyhow, not just S3 to stream videos. And then when you set up Cloudfront, it gives you two options, one for web distributions and one for streaming distributions.

    Read Amazon's Cloudfront documentation and do some searches for how to set up video streaming with Cloudfront.
