Obfuscated / Tokenized content security

Detlif — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 12:21:23 GMT

Hi everybody out there

I am looking for a way to prevent that our streaming video content is accessed from other players/clients than ours (wmp/silverlight).
We are also starting up with smooth streaming. So that must also be protected againt hotlink/deep linking.

At this point we are using an application on the streaming servers that validates a tokenized url before serving the stream to the requester. But that application does not work on ws8 / iis7.

I can see that there are some obfuscating feature in the playlist module, that maybe could provide some of this protection. But as I read it that only secures that the content is played in the order specified in the playlist. And what we would need is a way to ensure that we only allow the content to be viewed in our players by validated users.

Is there any way to do this or do we still ned a 3. party application installed on the servers?

Web Playlists

Hi,

I've tried today the web playlists functionality of IIS Media Services 3.0 Beta. Unfortunately I didn't found anything that can be used instead of the simulated live functionality of server side playlists of Windows Media Services, like wallclock. Am I missing something? Is it something that will be added in the release version?

Re: WMS Playlist Vs IIS7 Web Playlists

Hi Vishal,

1. No, the advertisements cannot be skipped.

2. The advertisements are local.

We also want to log the statistics & authenticate the users.

How can one decide which platform to choose for their requirement. Anything published regarding this?

WMS Playlist Vs IIS7 Web Playlists

Mathirajan — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 05:03:20 GMT

We are using WMS serverside playlist in our application - I just found IIS7 Web Playlists CTP2, I'm trying to understand the difference between these two.

Our requirement is to add advertisements like TV commercials to a main video. I appreciate any inputs on this, mainly the correct platform to use - should it be wms server side playlist or IIS7 web playlist & authentication.

Playlist and Vista

aryden.bk@gmail.com — Thu, 15 May 2008 09:42:58 GMT

Hello all, I recently installed Web PLaylist to my IIS 7 test machine to test its functionality before any live deployment and I am having a very strange issue.

4 computers >> 2- IE 7/firefox3 on XP sp3, 1 IE7/firefox3 Vista sp1, and 1- Safari OSx.5

the current playlist is serving an mp3. both xp machines using IE7 & firefox 3 connect and play the file perfectly! However, the Vista machine with Firefox 3 works, but using IE7 returns 404 file not found when navigating using an html link, and a cannot find media error when imputting the url to media player. Safari grabs the file and just hangs, but that is easily fixable.

any suggestions on the vista IE7 issue? i have been beating my brains to try to figure this one out. I killed the firewalls, i varied ports, i made html, php, and jscript pages to serve links to the files but still a no-go when using Vista.
