Hi,
I have read that in the new versions of JWPlayer that you cannot compile the SecureToken into the flash player, you have to set the token as a javascript variable in the HTML page. This seems like a major security risk, has anyone solved this or any suggestions how to make this more secure?
Hi there,
Yes, as I know you can compile the Secure Token with JW Player open source version, but for licensed version you cannot do it, and LongTail company (JW Player) didn’t provide coding/compiling with the licensed version.
But I have found a way to put Secure Token with this licensed JW Player version, you need to put this code with JW Player code on your web page:
rtmp: {
securetoken: “MySecretCode”
},
Hope this help.
Best Regards,
as far as i know you still can/have to compile it in jwplayer 6

otherwise it is best to ask on the jwplayer forum. Wowza can secure the stream, but isn’t the developer of jwplayer
You can compile secure token with JW Player opensource version. I have did that before. The problem is that , they wont provide premium version source code so we have to obfuscate the code in some external js file.

It is a very weak practice since anybody who views the source code can identify the secure token.
