Hello @hari-varieth,

We developed a wordpress plugin to work with CF stream and to sign URLS, so that nobody can share the url of the videos, download them or stream them other than through your website.

If you are interested let me know
Kind regards

1) it’s not “common” practice. It’s a practice. I have 20 plugins installed and only 2 are doing this shit: yours and wp-rocket.

2) Also smoking is a common practice, that doesn’t mean is healthy.

I see that you completely ignore my point: I see the skip thing: BUT YOU FORCE ALL OF YOUR USERS TO do 2 cliks rather than 1 and that’s selfish.
Think if EVERY plugin would behave like you do (luckily 99% of plugins don’t do that…)… we would spend 80% of the time spent on managing wordpress clicking NO to ads, no to upgrade, no on sending feedbacks, etc… it seem that you don’t want to see your plugin as part of whole and you just look at yourself and your needs.

Regarding the other point.
Make in sort that you do this “onbording” thing just 1 TIME!!!! Not everytime someone enable and disable the plugin.
Write smome lines of code so that the redirection happens ONLY when you first install the plugin.
This is like saying:
“1% of people have a gun in their poket when they enter a bank, so let’s forbid people to put their hands in their pocket because they may be robbers”.
You create problems to 99% of people trying helping 1% of people!!!

Also, it’s possible just to put a small option on your settings to DISABLE this feature… so that you don’t create such problem for 99% of people!!!

“I don’t find anything wrong with it. And so far, no one complaint about it as well.” >> this is equal to say: LET’S DO SHIT and REMOVE IT ONLY IF PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT IT!!!

I have enough. I am gonna disable the plugin, remove it from 10 of my websites. And do some bad advertising. It’s obviously that you don’t have a team that wanna grow with your users.

Good luck!

You wrote a lot of bla bla but in the end you don’t come to the point.

a) This is one of the point:
https://postimg.cc/0zSHvrDf

this kind of mkt shit I mean… you force users to behave in a certain way when they disable your plugin!! You are forcing ur users to send your feedback… and forcing them to click again and inviting them to send data to you EVERY TIME!!!!
Dozen or hundreds of thousands of people that instead of 1 click, needs to do 2 clicks!!! And if they fail, chances are that they send a feedback to you!!!
I don’t even think that this is GDPR compliant to be honest!!!

b) don’t be vague or use the PR technique to beat around the bush with this point, it doesn’t work with me:
– if you disable your plugin
– then you re-enable it again
– from this URL:
XXXX.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=rainmaker_form
– you automatically 302 redirect to this:
XXXX.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?plugin_status=all&paged=1&s

Which means that EVERY TIME your plugin (and maybe 10x other plugins get disabled)… WE (users) needs to FORCELY go there and click back to the plugin lists…

CHANGE THOSE THINGS!!! As I said users don’t appreciate this shit.
You have a great plugin, why do you use those dark techniques? I don’t understand… people don’t buy or send valuable feedbacks because of this shit… they ll send you fake data and start hating your plugin and find an alternative.
Which is what I will do… I will let you another update, if you don’t update it deleting this redirect, I will go find a valid alternative that doesn’t spam (ie. forcing users to act or read or behave in a certain way). Formidable is a valid alternative.

P.s. I have 14 websites among which one that reviews plugins… so the choice is up to you.

I checked my version and I have: 1.7.2.
No updates are showing… is that the new version already? Because I don’t see any option to solve the problem under settings…
thanks guys

I am not using Gutenberg. I have undesign uncode theme ??
So I don’t think it’s related to gutenberg…. many plugins (e.g. formidable) have an options that allow you to “load assets only where is needed”.

Love you guys, you are great!!

thanks for the update, will wait for it ??

I know you can do the normal way ?? it’s more about the handyness of having to click 1 time and have the stream library in wp. Also, I thought this plugin would have solved the hard signed URl thing as it’s written in the description… but it’s not.

Generating signed URLs in bash following your guide is explained and I managed to do that. I got my token link and then inserted that into the player and worked. The real problem is HOW TO MODIFY all video urls with tokens serving those to the player each time the page load so to have PRIVATE links every time and protect your videos!!

If someone wants to really have an URL that expires after the view of that very video, how can he really make it working using the CF player without coding expirience?
A plugin is needed of course… and I thought this plugin could do that…

Otherwise, the video you embed in your website will ALWAYS BE PUBLIC and ACCESSIBLE in CF in one way or another and that’s something many users can’t afford.
E.g. any website with membership or shop functionalities that sells videos or are accessible only for members (e.g. tutorial videos)

Of course I can hire a developer to create the script for me but if CF would release something like that, hundred of thousands of your clients would benefit of it in the future… so it’s more efficient :).

Any plugin, UI in CF, script, option, would be ok to at least LET YOUR CLIENTS DECIDE if the video should be private or not.

Thanks a lot!

Hello, rght,… same question here, I don’t have gutenberg too, how can you inser the stream video?

Also, how is the procedure to active signed URLs from the plugin?

Thanks a lot for this plugin!!!
