CDN providers - in here
 

So, I've had it ^up to here^ trying to deal with CDN providers for my clients who want secure streaming protection. Every single time I waste many many hours with them, only in the end for them to admit they cannot do what I am asking them to do, even though their streaming media (be it adobe FMS or wowza) support what I want them to do.

You guys, you are sitting on a goldmine here if you can implement what I ask you to implement, because without it you are losing clients who go back to streaming from their own servers to protect their content. With it, I can then send you people who ask me "any CDN supports this" (atm, I say no).

Yes, ok, you all offer some forms of security, but expiring keys, header tokens and unencrypted streams DO NOT cut it. Your streaming software server supports this, I can implement this, your clients want this, so why are you all so frikken stubborn not to enforce this!!!

I hear you BROmance. That is why we have had to develop our own (without all of the bullshit bandwidth charges). We are still in BETA but we are testing it with ElevatedX right now. Hopefully we can roll it out as a consumer product once all of the testing and trials are completed over the next few months.

:pimp

It's deafening in here with the lack of responses!

Footsies, while I appreciate it, I too have my own CMS dealing with this, but I need a CDN to offer to people now...

We'll see if those that have contacted me can come through... I'd love to see this an actual implementation this time....

We're all still waiting for a CDN that supports plain old ordinary HTTP correctly. From what I've seen they've all been done by people who failed compsci 101.

I agree with you on that one.

I tried one host, it was such a mess, I had to give up after 5 weeks and thousands of lost dollars!

Mine does, in fact it's just plain old http with streaming options for mass volumes.

Andy, emailing you now -- I'm interested to find out what we can do for you.

so, of those that hit me up (4 in total), the answer is no.

I find it hard to believe that in this day and age where people are demanding their content to be secured, the CDNs and CDN-providers cannot do it. Especially so when the technology they are using to stream has the capacity (fwiw, Adobe FMS is worse than Wowza WMS in this regard).

I've bookmarked my own thread so I can send people here. That way I don't waste any more time with trying to explain how a CDN and secure content are non-compatible.
