    Default Bug in beta ver?

    Hi i have just noticed that clients are downloading the media off my server using the browser login . The allow direct download is not ticked so they should not be able to download? Is this a bug can you check it out and supply a patch if it is or is there another setting that need to be applied. It looks like they are selecting Download media file using web browser in the options i have just checked the login and comfurm it let me download it even know the allow direct downloads is not ticked.

    Hi,
    technically any streaming of a video is a download so it is not possible to prevent users from downloading a video via the web interface. Disabling the direct download button is a method to prevent the user from being able to download but once the user has the url for streaming then it can be used to download the video.

    yes i understand once they have the url they could use another program BUT im shore in the last ver if the download media direct was not ticked then the Download media file using web browser in the web interface was not there to be selected? or am i wrong its because of this they are able to just click download media on the player. If this is the case then what does that option allow direct media download do? see this link https://www.dropbox.com/s/yuo1c7egyo...itled.png?dl=0 this shows the option to download using the browser even know the option of allow direct media download is not tick should this not be available? thanks

    Direct media downloads allow downloading the original file, the option to download the file for playback allows opening the URL in another player when using a device such as a mobile phone.

    its weird because if the Download media file using web browser option was not there it will work fine you can not download the file through the interface when this is not ticked. But because its there all the time no matter what all they have to do is select it and they can use it to download the file this way see pic https://www.dropbox.com/s/yuo1c7egyo...itled.png?dl=0 so now they can download useing the interface even if the allow direct media download is not ticked ?? if that option is not there the download option in the picture is not there ether with will fix the problem as its not available. thanks

    When the download option is selected in the player options then the url is loaded in the browser and this is the browser's own player that is showing the download button.
