unimr.red5.protectedvod

Manage, protect and present your video/audio content with Plone but delegate the streaming to Red5.

Project Description

unimr.red5.protectedvod implements a solution for secure flash streaming with Red5 server. It provides a way to protect your media files from being directly downloaded from plone or from being "leeched" by other sites. For this purpose the streaming URL is secured by altering the requested URL with a signature. When the video file is requested, the path of the file is
individually signed by plone for each request and the streaming is delegated to Red5. Red5 checks afterwards the signature of the incoming request for validity by a shared secret (only known by Plone and Red5!). If the signature is valid Red5 delivers the stream. The signature is unique, context specific and its duration of validity is limited. Plone's security context is therefore completely preserved in Red5. Nobody can copy-and-paste that URL anywhere he want and load the video.
