Hello DivX Community.

I'm a webmaster of a website and im using the DivX Webplayer to display videos.

However i recently got a notice about a "uprade" and with this upgrade the "_ns" (No Save) feature does not work anymore. When i view a video, i cannot save it the first time, however if i refresh the page after it has fully buffered i can "save video as".

This was not possible in the earlyer build of divx webplayer.

Ofcourse there are several of ways for users with some experience to download the videos, but i would like to prevent the common users from doing this.

Is there any information on getting the "No Save" function to work properly again?

Thank you.

Hi ! I've seen this

Hi !

I've seen this paragraph in the Webmaster SDK/Webmasters Handbook.pdf :

"p16/3. Preventing Downloads:
If you want to prevent the DivX Browser Plug-In from saving the downloaded video file onto the end user's hard drive, you can simply name your video file so that its filename on your web server ends with "_ns" (for "no save") just before the .divx extension and update your HTML code to reference this filename.
Examples: myvideo_ns.divx or trailer_ns.divx.
In this case the DivX Web Player Plug-In will still download the file contents for playback but will not allow the end user to save the full file on disk."

Is it what you need ?

Webplayer 1.4.0.233 "no save"

Hi,

I'm a new user and I'm learning about parameters and custom javascript codes for the divx webplayer.
I've seen there is a parameter to disable the popup menu :
param name="allowContextMenu" value="false" /
Perhaps it's your solution ?

Please, give me a feedback if it's the right way ;)

Hello! I've considered using

Hello!

I've considered using this, but i cannot fully implement it to my video gallery i use to display divx videos.

Im currently using "Coppermine-gallery" and i don't fully know where the page gets the code to display the video, though i've manage to install the divx webplayer to my gallery.

In the earlyer versions 1.3.1 the "_ns.avi" extention trick worked perfectly. Now however when a video is fully loaded you can right click and save it even though the _ns.avi extension is there. My guess that its a bug in the new 1.4x version.

If someone would be up to the challenge to try getting param name="allowContextMenu" value="false" / to work in my coppermine gallery feel free to contact me in this thread!
