How can I hide or obfuscate the url of the embedded mov files in drupal using swftools and flowplayer 3 as the video player. I tried using SWFObject2 but infact it outputs the url very clearly.
The site is basically a online video selling site, so I want to be able to prevent users to download the videos on their computer.
You could encrypt the video name, so instead of www.yoursite.com/sites/all/files/myvideo.flv you have www.yoursite.com/sites/all/files/fue8rughht94rjfieiwkdnd9tzdhezfh3993. This simply gets stored into the database and when called, you need to decrypt it.
Alternativly, you can have a singe entry file like access that takes the video name you want to show to the user like access?vid=myvideo.flv. This way, you can check more easily if the user has the permission to download the video.
I know this is not very Drupal related but this would require a custom approach anyway.
