Hi everyone, I just got my plyr up and running very well with videos hosted on CDN.
Well I noticed that it's very easy to get the file's URL in the html code and download the video.
So to get around this I set up a proxy on my server and protected the video file from being downloaded.
But... this doubles my bandwidth usage every time the file is played.
I know that neither hollywood nor netflix was able to solve this problem, I just wish the file was not so easy to download directly from the html code.
Does anyone have any options or could you show me an example with javascript?
I know some people will suggest me to use the CloudFlare firewall, but it comes at a very high cost for me.
