Skyfay 19 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Hi there, I wanted to ask whether it is possible for users to use "download to" but not be able to download the original file? I want users to be able to download to their devices, but I don't want users to get the original file. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyfay 19 Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 Ok, it would be cool if you could add that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyfay 19 Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 @LukeIs there perhaps the possibility to simply deactivate the download button on the web because that would actually solve the problem, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusher11 851 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Why would you want to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyfay 19 Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) I want people to be able to download the movies on their devices (Iphone, Android, etc) but I don't want users to be able to download the original file.

crusher11 851 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I understand that, what I don't understand is why. What difference does it make whether they have an exact copy of the original or a transcode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyfay 19 Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 I can make a comparison here with Netflix. If you download a film there, you don't have the film in mkv format on your device and you can do everything with it. You can also download the original file from me. But then only e.g. on the IOS device where you can't do anything with it except to watch the film about emby. So that the file may even be somehow encrypted on the device. Was that put in an understandable way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roaku 795 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Asking for a copy protection scheme is very different than asking for the original file to be hidden from downloading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusher11 851 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Yeah, only allowing them to download a transcode copy still means the video file is just sitting there on their device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyfay 19 Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) So I would like to be able to download media files only in the apps and not in the web app. In addition, an encryption of the file that only Emby can read so that the film cannot simply be copied in the original.
