Video Shop

Hello Guys,

I would like to create something like a shop, where the customer would buy a specific package and then have access to specific videos. Here are some of the requirements:

1 – The user shouldn`t be able to download the video he bought
2 – The video should have an expiration date (when it expires the user shouldn`t be able to see it)
3 – The video management section must be flexible so that multiple videos can be added to specific packages

Is this something that can be easily achieved with your plugin?

Thank you!

Thanks for your inquiry. ~ We appreciate your patience :-)

1 – The user shouldn`t be able to download the video he bought

I recommend that you integrate s2Member® with Amazon S3/CloudFront and use the s2Stream Shortcode to introduce protected videos to your Users/Members. Please be sure to serve Users/Members with an RTMP stream only (i.e. player="jwplayer-v6-rtmp-only") so that MP4 files are not actually downloadable.

Please see: Knowledge Base » JW Player® w/ s2Stream Shortcodes

2 – The video should have an expiration date (when it expires the user shouldn`t be able to see it)

This can be accomplished with File Download Keys in s2Member®. Videos accessed with a File Download Key will expire automatically after 24 hours. You can generate a Key each time they access a certain area of your site, thereby renewing this expiration time for another 24 hours; or you can choose NOT to.

Please see: Knowledge Base » JW Player® w/ s2Stream Shortcodes -› Shortcodes
Please click the “Shortcode Attributes (Explained)” tab, and look for the download_key Attribute.

3 – The video management section must be flexible so that multiple videos can be added to specific packages.

s2Member® is VERY flexible when it comes to File Downloads and audio/video protection.

However, I wouldn’t use the word “easy” to describe this, because I consider this to be one of s2Member’s most advanced aspects. s2Member® can certainly accomplish this for you, but it’s not all point and click functionality. There is a learning curve.
