As you will soon find out from more people than me, there is no way at all to hide the source from someone. If you don't want people finding your links, the only thing to do would be to not post them on the internet. Everything else is just busy work.

Besides, you have more important problems... did you know the shift key was missing from your keyboard?! :D

let us see your code that would have taken away most of the features in the right click menu, u can't disable it completely, only the settings option in the right click menu should be available to the user

hey you can try placing a transparent png or gif image
on top of your video. Allways works for me

Don't try and disable the context menu. That will get you nowhere. Set up your server properly, to check for a referrer header in the request for the video file. If the referrer URL does not match your site, return an error. This is the same way images can be protected from cross-posting.

You could also use a server-side language to hide the true URL, by using the script to redirect as long as the referrer is correct.

<PARAM NAME="EnableContextMenu" VALUE="false">



works :thumbsup:

Iono how much you know but to stop people from running it on other sight do as a previous guy suggested only allow access from your site AKA hotlink protection... Second suggestion in case you are a php-user have the movie be a php script that automatically blocks you from viewing it or running it for that matter unless the querystring is set to a correct forever changing variable like the date and then have php print it out for you at the page you do view it... But heres the thing, stopping people from accessing it is something that way better expert coders probablly have been trying to stop for years and never completed but if you work hard enough you can make it so difficult to get, that the most-determined person will give up on it.

well.. it depends on which language u're working ... u can find lods of free scripts on php and asp scripting languages for password protection pages on google (or try hotscripts.com). I personally believe there is no way to secure videos or images on web... even if u use transparent gif or png file.... files are still download in temp Internet files folder and anyone can copy from there or by looking the source of the page...

ATB! :thumbsup:

A web browser copies all your files first before displaying the page so by the time the page displays it is too late to stop people stealing your images etc. The only exception is true video/audio streaming that uses special server side software.

I dearly need this solution, can someone tell me how i can add a transparent image on top of a live stream link that i have added on my site.
The only problem is that guyz can get the TV link by right clicking the media player.
Need help please.

How bout this...
Write a terms of service that states that all script on your site is yours and that you will persue legal action if stolen or used without credit...
Its a bit weak, I don't know how to enforce it other than looking around, either that or put the links in php code like this *unless it can't*
<?php
echo "linkstuff";
?>
Because PHP code is totally hidden in the source code...

[rafiki]

its not hidden in the source code, its not in the source code... and if you want the client to see anything you either need to not have php handle it or echo/print it out.

JUST ADD THIS TO YOUR EMBEDDED CODE

EnableContextMenu="false" OR EnableContextMenu=false

All that will do is annoy people viewing the embedded video.
