Amazon S3, JW Player, and Hotlinking
Hey warriors,
I spent the last couple hours fooling around with Amazon S3 for the first time. I uploaded my video, embeded it through JW Player on my site, and the video plays perfect.
I'm now at the point where I want to protect the video so that it can only be viewed on my webpages.
I use Amember, so the video can only be viewed by certain people and I don't want the video file link either A) be extracted via the page source or B) to be able to be viewed/downloaded except if they're on my site.
I found 2 resources, but I'm not sure what I need to use from here:
(I can't post links yet but if you Google these phrases the first match will be the page... sorry I know that's annoying)
1. Video Bandwidth Protector - Protect your Camtasia (and other) Videos regardless of where they are stored - including Amazon S3
2. How to Prevent Hotlinking of Images Hosted on Amazon S3
Do I want to be doing the protection on the Amazon S3 side of things, or should I be doing this in JW Player somehow?
Again, all I need to do is prevent anyone from watching the video unless they're on my site watching the embeded video.
Thanks for your help, I've searched for solutions but couldn't find any clear answers.
