Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

We use HTML5 video element to play your videos and so the viewers can see the video source. But, we are planning to add some security protections in future(Next version 1.2.2). So, the viewers cannot download the file.

As an immediate solution, you can try applying "Hot-link protection" using .htaccess and protect your videos from being downloaded. So, the viewers can still see your Video URLs. But, they can't download it. Are you a PRO user ? If yes, kindly mail me your Joomla admin and Server FTP access to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. So, I can do this on my own.

What i used is this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?MYDOMAIN.COM [NC]
RewriteRule \.(mp4)$ - [NC,F,L]

Seems to be working great :-) if you see a problem with my code, please tell me.
