We have FMS interactive configured to do RTMP and HLS streaming. However the clips still can be downloaded through http://domain.name.com/vod folder. Is there a way to disable progressive downloads? While at it is there a way to disable HDS also? I want to allow HLS and RTMP only.

Ahh, yes you are right. This is not good.

I'm looking at VOD_DIR and VOD_COMMON_DIR options in fms.ini now. Tell me, if I do the following:

Put all my files under fms/applications/vod/media instead of fms/webroot/vod will HLS and RTMP work? Or do I need additional adjustments in httpd.conf?


In that case just change HttpStreamingContentPath to correct location of the media folder under hls-vod tag. like this:-

<Location /hls-vod>

    HLSHttpStreamingEnabled true

    HLSMediaFileDuration 8000

    HttpStreamingContentPath "<application-folder-path>/vod/media"

    HLSFmsDirPath ".."

    HLSJITConfAllowed true

   Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks

</Location>

Restart Apache.

Reason for your data available for progressive dowload is because its there in webroot. Webroot/<extendend-path> is by default available to any client via http://server-name/<extendend-path> unless you have taken measures to protect it inside Apache's httpd.conf.

You can do one thing. Keep your content outside Apache's webroot. Say C:/myvideos/. for example there is a video there sample.f4v i.e C:/myvideos/sample.f4v

Now you can change the location "HttpStreamingContentPath" pointing to from "../webroot/vod" to "c:/myvideos/" under hls-vod inside httpd.conf (Apache/conf)

<Location /hls-vod>

    HLSHttpStreamingEnabled true

    HLSMediaFileDuration 8000

    HttpStreamingContentPath "C:/myvideos/"

    HLSFmsDirPath ".."

    HLSJITConfAllowed true

   Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks

</Location>

Or you can disable(modify) content availibilty by making appropriate changes unders in httpd.conf

<Directory "../webroot">

    Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks

    AllowOverride None

    Order allow,deny

    Allow from all

</Directory>

To disable HDS-Live, set "HttpStreamingEnabled" to false under hds-live location directive

<Location /hds-live>

    HttpStreamingEnabled false

To disable HDS-vod, set "HttpStreamingJITPEnabled" to false under hds-vod location directive

<Location /hds-vod>

    HttpStreamingJITPEnabled false

To disable HDS-vod offline fragmented content, set "HttpStreamingEnabled" to false under vod location directive

<Location /vod>

    HttpStreamingEnabled false

You need to restart the Apache server after making the changes to get them reflected next time..

Hope it help

Will this work?

<Directory "../webroot">

    Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks

    AllowOverride None

    Order allow,deny

    Deny from all

</Directory>

I guess, yes .. but it may deny all request to webroot.. Even everything beyond FMS usage like your own hosted pages, FMS default index.html will not be allowed.. I hope you underrstand what all you are restricting as per your usage/requirement..
