Block mp3 downloads
Using Jamroom
andersda:I assume this still allows you to play (stream)the file in the player. What protocol is used to stream? I assume its not progressive and not stored on the user's drive.
Yes - it prevents MP3's from being downloaded via the "download" view - it only allows streaming vie the "stream" view, which is a normal file stream on port 80. If the user has a tool to store it on their drive, they can (since it has to be sent to them to be played). Just like always, there is no 100% secure way to prevent someone from downloading and saving a file. This is why in JR, when a file is for sale, only the sample is streamed - not the whole song.
Quote:Does this still allow the user to download files after purchase?
Yes - that happens through vault_download, which is a separate function that is part of FoxyCart.
Quote:Is that download link hashed?
How long is the key valid?
no it's not hashed.
Quote:Does the same restriction apply if you are selling other media types (wav, aiff, mov, flac, avi, etc...)
it works the same for everything that is sold.
Hope this helps!
