OK, that makes sense. Is it possible on your platform to make videos private? IE, I add a video, make it private and then add something that says "this video can only be played from subdomain.mydomain.com" (which I could then have behind a paywall of course).
I ask because we're working on a solution for our users and we have 10,000 of them.
This is something we're working on. If you look at our API, we have a concept called "playback_policies" that will encompass this. https://docs.mux.com/v1/reference#create-an-asset
At first, it's just "public" and "private", but we'll soon have "signed" (e.g. short-term expiring URLs), and will then build in other security options, like georestriction and possibly domain-based restriction. We'll probably have to add full-on DRM support as well at some point.
It's likely a no go for us without domain based restriction. I'd rather do that then deal with signed urls, we wouldn't want them to expire. We deal with artists who have painting instruction videos, they're going to want to have those behind a paywall on their own domains (and then we'll offer them in our marketplace on our domain too).
Just signed up and looked at the api docs. Even the "signed" option for privacy says coming soon. I guess, at the moment, there is no way to secure a video on mux?
I'd be a +1 for domain-based restriction, just as it makes implementing a leaky paywall easier (I've got a series of chocolate making videos coming up that'll be behind a simple password gate, and would make things simpler to not have to implement URL-signing).
