Joe,

I hear what you're saying, and I don't disagree; if someone is sufficiently motivated, they can peruse their cache, and find the files. The goal here is to

a) limit access to those files limited to people who've paid to access them, leveraging the rights/roles built into mojoPortal

b) allow those people with proper access rights to view the images "in browser" (yes, most likely streaming - these are *not* small files). I'll probably use a two-step approach, where the page containing the player calls the page that'll convert the video back to a playable format from storage; I'll know more once my quote's approved and I move forward with it.

I know that you believe in leveraging 3rd party resources such as YouTube, and when it's appropriate, I do, too. However, this is a revenue stream for this client, so the more I can secure the content *and* display it in the manner they've requested, the better I'm doing my job for them. That's the joy of creating custom solutions, after all, isn't it? 

I've already got something of the sort built into my MegaGallery plugin, so for me, it's just a matter of extending the approach for video; it's been a long time for me, too, but again, that's part of the fun of creating custom features. Yeah, I know, I'm a geek. 

Exactly! I'm actually looking forward to implementing it - time to switch back to that side of the brainmeats, they're getting a bit lazy. Write a little code, make pretty pictures...

Ken,

I ended up implementing a modified version of the Audio/Video plugin, which displays the video in a lightbox. It's not perfectly secure, but it's obfuscated enough that someone has to be pretty determined to grab the videos directly, and have the correct access privileges to the storage folder itself.

The Membership Pro plugin works perfectly with the mojoPortal integrated rights and roles, so that's an absolute win. This feature is a great revenue generator for your clients who have premium video content such as webinars, etc.
