A video player plugin for WP that doesn’t expose the video file location?

  • Is there a video player plugin for WP that doesn’t expose the video file location in the code? I’ve tried all of the ones I could find and they all have the direct location of the video file in the code. I’ve also tried using the secure files plugin and it works well, but still allows anyone to download the file (without knowing it’s location) by looking at the player code. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks much!

    Quick clarification, it would be ok if the player showed the location of the file, as long as the file wasn’t available for download if you copy and pasted the video URL. Thanks!

    There’s not a plugin that I’m aware of but wordpress does this already. Take a look at your wp-admin/index.php and wp-admin/index-extra.php files and how they display the planetwordpress links. They’re hidden within a div. You maybe able to hide your video embed code within a div like that. That’s how youtube does theirs so one can’t download their videos.

    Do note though that that method is breakable but it will prevent the casual visitor from seeing the link. It’s not perfect though.
