Hi

I am having problems protecting my .flv files from direct download.

I want the video to be viewable in the SWFObject player displayed in
my PHP page. But I don't want the user being able to access them
directly via the URL.

I have added a .htaccess file in the video directory as follows

# no one gets in here!
deny from all

This stops the download but also stops the video from playing in the
SWFObject

I have tried adding
allow from localhost
allow from 127.0.0.1

but no joy.


The SWFObject code is as follows

        <script type='text/javascript'>
                                                                                
var s1 = new SWFObject('applications/
player.swf','player','640','380','9');
                                                                                
s1.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
                                                                                
s1.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
                                                                                
s1.addParam('flashvars','file=../video/
gtv.flv&displayclick=fullscreen&title=Site
Title&icons=false&fullscreen=true&autostart=true&skin=applications/
nacht.swf');
                                                                                
s1.write('flashtest');
                                                                        
</script>
                                                        </div>

The video file plays in the player fine if I take away .htaccess.

Is there a best practice for protecting your video content from direct
download?
