Anyone know of a current movie hotlink protection program?
 

I had the program from antihotlinking.com, but when we moved servers we couldn't get it installed properly, and they don't answer any of our emails.

If anyone knows of a similar solution please share it here.

.htaccess file
 

Have you given something like this a try?

You add a rewrite rule to your htaccess file. Seems to work pretty good so far or at least a good temp fix until you get something a little more advanced.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !your domain to allow \.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !your domain to allow \.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !your domain to allow \.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !your domain to allow \.com [NC]


RewriteRule \.(gif|jpe?g|png|wmv|flv|swf|mpg)$ h t t p y o u r d o m a i n.com/images/nohotlink.jpe [NC,L]


the last line is an image substitute you can use so when it is hot linked that image shows up.

:banana

Smokey just posted something like 2 days ago about this, he had a KILLER solution

yes, check that one out. That was a good one.

htaccess doesn't work for movies because movie players don't pass referrer information.

I'll have to do a search or something for Smokey's solution

hotlinking movies
 

thats a trip...

It seems to be working for me ?

Let me know if you can hot link this movie.

I heard it didn't work for movies too until I tried it. I think it may have something to do with replacing it with an image like I did. As far as image hotlinking it seems to be working 99% of the time. Haven't really tested it.
