Setup: I have a Wordpress VOD site being managed by the Magic Members plugin. I am using the JWPlayer with mp4 files being pulled from a playlist which streams rtmpe. I have the SecureToken and Hotlink Denial Modules.

Scenario: I want to let android, iphone, and ipad users access the content. I understand how Wowza can stream to these devices, but what I don’t get is how to implement it on the front end of a site so the videos can’t just be downloaded by desktop users.

For example if I simply add hardlinks to the page for mobile users, how will I stop the files from being downloaded?

What am I missing here?

Thanks!

Take a look at this script from Ian for one approach

[http://blog.ianbeyer.com/code/client/browser-aware-player-code](http://blog.ianbeyer.com/code/client/browser-aware-player-code)

There are server-side examples for the different app servers that are essentially the same but are not affected by users turning javascript off.

It can get complicated, and it’s a moving target with new UserAgents all time.
