Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I was hoping to block Real Player on a website with video (or at least protect a directory holding the video files). I found an article here: <a href="http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/blog/13088/securing-your-content" rel="ugc">http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/blog/13088/securing-your-content</a><br />
<br />
Someone put in a comment that you can block Real Player with Apache. They provided this code:<br />
<br />
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent &quot;^RealPlayer&quot; bad_client<br />
<br />
&lt;Directory &quot;/your/streaming/files/*&quot;&gt;<wbr /><br />
Order allow,deny<br />
Allow from All<br />
Deny from env=bad_client<br />
&lt;/Directory&gt;<br />
<br />
I have, what is probably, a silly question. Where would I put this script? I thought it would be in my .htaccess file, but that produced a 500 error. Am I missing something really stupid here?<br />
<br />
I'd appreciate your thoughts!
