Restrict access to m3u8

[giuseppegambino92]

Hi everyone, I wanted to know if there was a way to protect the m3u8 stream from "outside" access without authorization. Because it happened to me that from Chrome debugging the video stream was taken and republished on other platforms using my same hls stream. I would like it to be visible only from the Restreamer Player, embedded in my website.

Hi @giuseppegambino92

good to hear from you.

There are few opportunities there at the moment. Instead, you should use the Creative Commons license and choose a minimal license. Your stream is then subject to a license, and unauthorized reuse violates that license.

What you are asking for is a stream protection mechanism with tokens. We have that on the roadmap. But it may take some time.

Greetings Sven

Hey @connaissances We are in the planning stage. It might come with the next release. But no guarantee. It's done when it's done ;-)
