What is the most secured approach to prevent html video download from a django website
I have a website that i want to do the following:
- prevent users from downloading the videos. I need the best practice
- ensure that my videos can only be played within the website and no where else
I tried to disguise the video source link to blob url object but it's downloadable. Even when I copy the blob url object in to browser the video still plays, that another thing i need to prevent. PLEASE HELP!
One way to approach this is through..
- video streaming i.e. hls: where the video is split in small chunks and streamed over the network continuously instead of a single video file. i.e. 1mb stream every 5 seconds or something.
- serve videos signed URLs using service like aws s3 / cloudfront / etc. these URLs should have exp times and security policies to ensure valid users have access to them.
- caching?
- cors and referer based access to allow requests only from your site
in the front end, adding controlslist="nodownload" in the video element helps.
a good example of how this is done is https://www.udemy.com
