Hide the video URL

Is there any way to hide the actual video URL in the source code?

Shahjahan Jewel

Not sure what you want to achieve but the video URL will be on the source otherwise, how the browser will know from where to render the video?

Shahjahan JewelΒ I was hoping that someone couldn't just look at the source code and find my video links that easy.

Could the URL be stored in a different way or encrypted?

Shahjahan Jewel

Iain KerrΒ No. That's not how the web works. Also I would not be worried about someone get the link and download it. Even netflix can't prevent piracy.

Shahjahan JewelΒ I know you can get screen recorders and special software to rip streaming services. Just feel like I have left the front door open for someone to walk in and steal from me.

Maybe I need some kind of encrypted streaming.

Solved my issue - Using Publit.io - restricted playback by domain. So if someone has the URL it won't play.

I give in on the screen recording like everyone else.
