Protecting Videos

Using the sneak peek – is there any way to make DAP hide more content than only what’s in the post? We have a video player in our template, that reads in a video, but want to protect it in the page also.
alternatively, do you know of a way to inject more content in {the_content} when it comes back in the loop, so that it appears to DAP that the video player is part of the {More…} content?
thanks.

I use Easy Video Player 2.0 (kind of based on JW tech.) which I store on AS3. Will you support it?
EVP itself have already 2 security built in
1. can set to play only from specific URL
2. random link change so it cannot be leeched

However, it can be still viewable everywhere and I want only members to see it.

Yes, DAP supports EVP.

WOW! That was fast reply.

Thank You Veena 🙂 I very appreciate it

Can DAP protect content shown in an iFrame? Possibly hide the entire iFrame inside a [DAP] shortcode?

Just answered my question by testing (silly me), but something broke my wordpress after the iframe was made available and I now have no shidebar. I’ll continue to cogitate, but step one looks good.

Helps if you put the closing tag behind the iFrame opeing tag. DAP shortcodes protect the content like a charm.

Hi, What if I have several buckets in s3? Or I should keep all my videos in one bucket ?

Alexei,

For now, you will have to keep everything in one bucket. But you can create sub-folders within each bucket, and add the sub-folder name to the S3MV tag, like this:

[s3mv]subfolder1/filename.mp4,…[/s3mv]

I installed the S3mediavault. Is there anyway I can change the URL expiration time to something less than 15 minutes?

could you look into protecting video files from WISTIA? They may have an API do do this. Several major IM marketers have moved there recently. I will also be moving there from Amazon S3.

$ 23 / MONTH
for 5 Videos?

Wistia is expensive, but gives you considerable functionality – viewer heatmaps, viewer tagging and tracking, calls to action where the person clicks on the video, email capture in the video, etc…

Worth it when your business is email and video marketing.

what about Secure HTTP for iOS?

none of your stuff works for iOS right?

JJ,

DAP itself will work fine on iOS and https, if the videos are self-hosted on your own server.

But if you’re referring to our S3MediaVault plugin, then S3MV doesn’t play videos on iOS at this time, though that feature is coming soon.

UPDATE on 04/28/2016: The newer versions of S3MediaVault is fully mobile responsive and will play on all devices, universally, whether it is desktop or mobile, on iOS, Android, Windows, Blackberry, etc. See http://WickedCoolPlugins.com/doc/s3mediavault-pro-installation/

Can paid users save/download video to their hard drive? Does your app. protect videos against screen recording?

Hi @Boki,

>>Can paid users save/download video to their hard drive?< < Yes. >>Does your app. protect videos against screen recording?<< Sorry, no.

Hi,

I was going to embed my Vimeo videos on my website and protect the pages. Is there any other way to make sure that the videos are also private and cannot be shared?

Thanks

Hi Nicholas,

Yes, you can embed Vimeo videos and then protect the pages using DAP. If you have a Vimeo Pro account, you can whitelist your domain, so that those videos play only from your web site. So Vimeo + DAP will be really secure. You can also host your videos on Amazon S3, and then use our plugin S3MediaVault (see http://WickedCoolPlugins.com/doc/s3mediavault-pro-installation/) to fully secure your videos.

can I use VIMEO to protect my videos? works well vimeo WITH DAP

Hi Ivan:
While we recommend Amazon S3 with our S3MediaVault.com plugin for video content, you can embed vimeo videos on your WP pages and protect it using DAP.
