Hi Sam.

Thanks for the fix.

I’d prefer it if you made a walkthrough video for this.

Regards,

Samuel.

Hi Sam,

Did you manage to get this sorted?

[samueldv6]

Hi Sam,

I’ve tested that bucket policy and it doesn’t work.

I was able to download my video using the method discussed previously.

Hi Sam,

Have you sorted out the bucket policy issue yet?

I want to make sure that this is sorted before I add my video content to my site.

Kind regards,

Samuel.

[samueldv6]

Ok thanks Sam.

[samueldv6]

Hi Sam,

I tried using the method described earlier to download the video and it didn’t work.

I received the following error:

It seems that the setup you have come up with appears to have fixed the loophole. Great work.

However, I’d like to ask, will this setup require us to use Cloudfront? I hope that your solution will still allow us to use normal S3 for content distribution as standard S3 is cheaper than Cloudfront.

Regards,

Samueldv6.

No worries, mate!

Hi Sam,

I tried using the test video that you’ve provided above but the video doesn’t work. It’s just an image displaying on the page.

So instead I decided to use the video on the s3Bubble homepage to demonstrate how someone can download an encrypted video.

I’ve shared the video demonstration to your email. Hope this issue can be resolved swiftly.

Best Regards,

Samueldv6.

I figured out what the issue was. For some reason, I have to put in domain security AFTER doing the rest of the player customization and saving it. Videos are working fine now.

[samueldv6]

Yeah, @zawan_na also hope they can provide a solution to this.

By the way, have a quick question (unrelated though)…

Do you put the video embed code on your website before or after you’ve done the customization (branding, playback rate, skip buttons, domain security, etc.)?

For my case, I put the embed code on my site before adding the customization and it works fine on the site but when I check within the s3Bubble customization area, I can see that the changes were not saved. So all my videos now have the default customization settings (no poster image, branding, security, etc.) On my website, the customization works fine except for video security.

So I’m not quite sure what to do right now. I’ve emailed support but I doubt I’ll get a response from them.

s3Bubble support team,

Do you think there would be a way to improve your service even further by possibly figuring out a way to encrypt the m3u8 file along with the .ts files? That way, you would be adding another layer of protection.

Just curious.

Thanks

[samueldv6]

Sadly I tested the method described in the link and it worked. I was able to download one of my own videos using the m3u8 link which you can find by right clicking in your browser whilst the video is playing (Google Chrome in this case) and selecting INSPECT then NETWORK tab.

Still though, s3Bubble is great and their platform will prevent MOST people from downloading.
