Does a Real "Responsive" S3 Video Player for Wordpress Exist?

by twistedpixel

Does anyone know of a Wordpress video player with these features:

1. Support Amazon S3/cloud (w source protection)
2. Truly "Responsive" i.e. video player scales fluidly in size based on browser width

Everything I looked at used multiple players based on the device/os, I'm looking for one that resizes like many jquery sliders you see in modern themes.

The plugin below is close to what I am looking for i.e. responsive and works with S3, but doesn't appear to protect the file source

WordPress - Video Gallery Wordpress Plugin /w YouTube, Vimeo | CodeCanyon

appreciate any suggestions

      I did look at it several times and couldn't find anything about it being responsive in the sales copy. I checked the player on the sales page and it certainly isn't responsive. (but that could be an older version of the player?)

      edit:

      just found where it says:

      EasyVideoSuite is fully compatible with HTML5 and the iPad, iPhone and android devices. This gives you immediate access to millions of mobile and tablet viewers!

      Can anyone point me to a demo of the responsive player?

    Hey twisted,
    What are you referring to, about protecting the source. S3 does that, why would you want the player to protect the video?

      S3 doesn't protect the source file by default. You can set the ACL permissions so no one can read the file but that also means your video player will not be able to read the file and thus will not be able to play the video.

      You can use the S3 php class to create expiring download links but not all video players work that way. A lot of the video players only allow you to upload a video file and not just use a video url inside them.

    Got it. I figured there was more to it than I was aware of. Thanks for the explanation.

    LeadPlayer is another option for those of you who want to host on YouTube (not worried about protection) but I'm not sure if it's responsive.

    I noticed Flow Player videos are pretty much impossible to download unless you are really, really determined and willing to explore pita RMTP solutions and burn several hours.

    Thanks

    What are the pros & cons of RTMP? Is it a good choice for users with low speed internet connection? Does it protect the media file from being downloaded? I am creating an online video training website something like Lynda.com but not in that scale and I am looking for a reliable player which is responsive and supports both hosted & self-served video files. I was using Sublime for while and it seems to be working but I have no idea if it can protect the files from being downloded or hotlinked.

    Actually there is no way to totally protect video content, simply because in order to view the video the player decompresses the video, so it is there in some form, you can severely limit the ability of the average Joe or Jane but you simply cannot stop them 100 percent of the time. I have used EVS, its nice but its not really responsive.
