embedded video

how can I prevent video being hosted on my site being streamed to other sites? Its killing my bandwidth and my host providers are moaning

1.  Right click disable will stop them from obtaining the embed code via backdoor options

2.  Remove the embed code box from the Video Gallery page, see it to the right of the Video Player?  Take that box out. 

3.  I don't know how to do this one, but you can add an If logged command to your file that will force the server to check if the individual playing the video (calling it) is logged in, if not logged then have it kill the video.   Actually, you may get away with this from the Admin Panel now that I think about it.  If not, sounds like an awesome mod that could be built for this item.

4.  Use a Die Hacker command (Search for Sammie Hackers and you'll find it on here) to the ray/modules/video/.htaccess file

I haven't tested these yet for what your looking for, but this is what comes to mind when I want to stop someone from stealing media

I like the 3rd option with an added pop up/ message asking the would be viewer to either log in or register, I will disable the right click and remove the embed link in the video player - cheers for that

I have the htaccess file set up for killing site rippers or whatever theyre called I assume thats the die hack youre talking about?

In the mean time I've renamed affected video files to stop them being viewed on my site too though :(

site useage is upto 3gb an hour - not good for me

You could also take the videos that they have stolen and you renamed and load new ones under the old names that tells them they have to come to your site to view them, maybe do a redirect on the current stolen urls to some site that has nothing to do with what you have.  Say if it's porn their stealing, forward them to a video on kittens knitting afghans...
