[Xerte] Re: playing youtube private videos question

[Paul Swanson]

How about storing the videos on the client's site, and protecting the
video folder with a .htaccess file? A PHP application, like Toolkits,
should still be able to access them, but you would not be able to browse
the folder if you set up the .htaccess file like the following:

 

# disable directory browsing

Options All -Indexes

 

# prevent folder listing

IndexIgnore *

 

# prevent access to any file

<FilesMatch "^.*$">

Order Allow,Deny

Deny from all

</FilesMatch>

 

I don't use Toolkits, but if it uses a PHP script to access the videos,
they should still play. Flash might have a problem, you'll need to test
to find out.

Any other commerical movie storage sites  anyone can suggest for movies
that can be played within xerte? Youtube private videos are out...the
client wants things private. 

Anyone used screencast.com,etc?

TIA

If the videos are private, they are private. Xerte can't access them,
even if you do accept the friend request...

I have a client who has put up youtube private videos. The videos don't
run in xerte...when I go directly to the youtube site using the embed
address it gives me a text notice that this is a private video and
'please make sure you accept the sender's friend request'. 

 

OH boy...anyone know how I'd do that? I mean have xerte tell it that
it's a friend?  Using toolkits 1.5.

 

Thanks
