Platform Update: Stronger Passwords & Smarter Tickets

Platform Update Stronger Password & Smarter Tickets

Some videos are just meant for a limited number of eyeballs. If you operate with sensitive content — whether it’s an executive board meeting or a high-value training video — this StreamingVideoProvider update is for you.

Stronger Video Passwords

In many cases, you will want to make sure that a video password can’t be shared with a third party and can’t be used if it leaks. That’s why we’ve added the Prevent Password Sharing feature in ⚙️ Settings > Access Control > Password Protection.

Select a Password Package and a Password Group within it. You’ll see Prevent Password Sharing on the right with three options:

  • Disabled: Password can be shared between users.
  • IP Fingerprint: Password can only be shared between devices on the same home or office computer network.
  • Device Fingerprint: Password can’t be shared. The password can only be used on one device at a time which has to be authorized first.

Smarter PPV Tickets

PPV tickets have had the Prevent Ticket Sharing sharing setting for a while which was set to Device Fingerprint by default. Some viewers found this difficult because they had to enter a code every time they switched to a new device. Now, we’ve added the IP Fingerprint option and made it default. This helps your viewers switch seamlessly between devices on the same network.

Go to ⚙️ Settings > Pay-Per-View > Paywalls & Tickets and select a paywall to test this new feature.
