 * Hello, I’m trying to run a membership website using membership plugins and all
   that stuff, I would be using your your plugin for the main content, videos.
 * The issue I’m concerned about is making the video file urls not accessable to
   people who are not logged in. So if a non-member has a URL to a “Member Only”
   video url, i dont want them to access it.
 * I’m wondering if you had any pointers for protecting the direct access to the
   video files.. Not sure how to define it all or where to look.
 * Thank you!

 * I’d recommend checking out this plugin: [http://wordpress.org/plugins/secure-html5-video-player/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/secure-html5-video-player/)
   I’ve never used it, but it seems designed for security. My plugin is completely
   open with the video URLs.
