Hotlink protection on movies

[beemk]

Whats the best solution for this? I'm going to try submitting a movie gallery instead of picture galleries to see if it converts any better. I know my htaccess wont work so what should i use?

Movies convert better than pics. Also, ask Juicy for the a script. He posted the zip file a few months back after he got pissed off at the company. lol

Relax here.. this script doesnt work (unless you can twist it up a bit) so dont get too excited.

Get anti-hotlinking

The simpliest way to prevent movie hotlinking is just to place a "set cookie" java script code into your gallery page and use RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} directive in the htaccess. As far as I know it works with any browser that supports cookies.

just what I was looking for, Thanks Juicy

doh the link is bad.. anyone care to post a fresh one?

ok heres a simple way , feel free to modify it..

Save the following as index.php and put it in a folder with your videos

<?php
$mov = $_GET['x'];

echo "<center><embed src=$mov.wmv></embed>";
?>

( if your using mpg/avi videos change the code to mpg/avi in both files)

ok now make a new folder in your main directory, save the following as .htaccess ( modify the url to point to the directory with your videos )

Options +FollowSymlinks
 RewriteEngine on
 RewriteRule ^(.*)\.wmv http://yoursite.com/videos/index.php?x=$1 [nc]

ok now what this will do is , when you call a video or someone hotlinks a video it will call the video and display it in an html page so you can add advertising and such..

Now keep in mind this doesnt actually prevent hotlinking all it does is rewrite the request to a different folder , so if you try to get http://yourserver.com/protected/video.wmv it would get the video from a different folder and write it into an html file.. the end video is still unprotected , so if someone views source of the html they can simply get the redirected movie url

BUT heres what you do.. you can simply rename the folder with your protected videos then change the .htaccess file to reflect that every so often , you dont have to change any of your links as they will just be redirected to the new folder without any changes on your part

if you have trouble installing it just let me know ( p.s. personally i think this is better than true protection because it allows you to profit from any hotlinking

But this would not be accepted by MGP sites, their scripts will see a file with few bytes, algo for people whose browsers open the video player when clicking the link, because video player doesn't understand html
