Disable RealPlayer's Video Download button

I have a client who wants RealPlayer v.11's "Download this
Video" button to be automatically disabled for the video content in
a Flash project. The video has to be delivered via progressive
download since Flash Media Server cannot be installed on the host
server.
When
this
topic was first introduced to the forums about 9 months ago,
Tiago Dias, an Adobe Community Expert (aka funkysoul), wrote:

If you are streaming a video from an FMS then you aren't able

can't tell the users realplayer to not to be able to download.
However,
TechNote
kb402906 says different:

Content creators can prevent this button from appearing by
publishing content as ActionScript 3.0 or by passing FlashVars to
the SWF file through HTML.
I hope that the TechNote is right. If so, can someone clarify
the non-AS3 solution? What exactly is supposed to get passed in
FlashVars? Can anyone provide a sample snippet?
Thanks in advance.

you are using youtube API so the question is that you can't do anything as they'll continue using HTTP protocol which is stateless and thus can be downloaded !
A workaround you can do is to make browser detection script in javascript which will detect presence of IDM Plugin ... Once you detect the presence of IDM then you can disable the video embedding and not enable it till the user manually disables the IDM Plugin

    haven't tried it myself but saw this earlier in a blog somewhere:
    "try retro installing FF v3.6.3",
    makes sense 'cos I've only been experiencing the same problem with mozilla & realplayer combo since updating to latest FF v3.6.4
    noted that under IE realplayer plugin still works fine, button to 'download this video' comes on as before.....
    from what I read retro install will pick up all your bookmarks etc. do no worries there
    naughty, NAUGHTY mozilla people! you were 'bombproof' until today....what happened? good luck sorting it out though!!!! I still luv you!

  • Why don't i see the ant video downloader on the add on bar anymore?

    For some reason i cannot see my ant video downloader button on the add aon bar anymore.
    Installed it again, but still no change.
    recently i installed adblock plus, but even when it is disabled i cannot find my button anymore.
    please help.

    Even under Lion the "authorize" menu entry does appear in exactly the same place as before - at least on my MacBook Pro -that's one of the few things that is still working
    Perhaps you could just select the "Help" menu and enter "authorize" in the search field. It should you take to the "authorize"-menu if it is till available.

  • Realplayer video downloader works in IE but not Firefox how can I fix this?

    My Realplayer video download function does not work in Firefox although it did several upgrades ago. It works fine in IE but the blue "record this video" does not appear in Firefox. I've searched all over the web for the "fixes" but none of them seem to work.

    Thanks..

    You can try these steps: 
    To uninstall: 
    Menu> Settings> Application manager> Installed apps> uninstall Nokia Store Client, Nokia Store, and Nokia Store Launcher.
    To install the latest version of Nokia Store, just open Nokia Store from the menu list and choose update. Install the application when prompted. The latest version should be 1.30.(8).
    Check also with Nokia Suite if you are using the latest software on your phone.

    The download button will be disabled if you are not on a WiFi connection at the present time.
    My 4G/LTE connection is actually faster than my available WiFi (in this present location), but those are the rules...

    I rented a movie on my mini iPad from iTunes. There is a blank box in the video folder and no download button. When I press the box the movie comes up but won't download.  There is usually a download button at the bottom of the screen but is not there.  Any suggestions?

    You move the movie from iTunes to iPad (tap to enlarge image)
    Movie will be moved to the Videos app.

  • 5800 download button disabled

    I have recently updated my nokia ovi on the cellphone. 
    Now I am not able to download any app which I had previously downloaded too.
    If I go to 'my stuff', and select an app, the download button becomes grayed and is disabled.
    Please tell me how to correct this thing.

    I'm sorry but your answer isn't of any use and i am suffering the very same issue.
    What is actually happening is that even though I have removed the applications from the 'my stuff' list, (record of downloaded software) the application download buttons are still disabled.
    It has nothing to do with the phone as you suggest, the problem is with Ovi website. for I have clean booted my N97 with a hard reset and wanted to reinstall all previous applications. however since the Ovi site update, I have been unable to do so.
    All software that I wish to re-download has been removed from the 'my stuff' listing. so in theory the software should now become available again for download (as it used to be in the older version of Ovi). Yet I cannot select the software for download, no matter what I do, it seems that either Ovi never clears it's cahe or they choose to prevent users from downloading FREE software once they have downloaded it. (unlikely).
    So come on, someone from Ovi, please research this problem and come back with a solution or at least a proper reply.

  • I can't see the button for the "Easy Youtube Video Downloader" when I click on a video. Help?

    I wanted to download a video off of youtube but the button for downloading doesn't appear where it usually is. I tried refreshing the page and I tried other videos as well, but the "download" button doesn't show up. Anyone else experiencing this?

    Flash Player is a browser add-on, not a standalone player.
    If you need the standalone player (Projector), download it from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

    Are you using the same apple ID and password?
    it seems all is in order, but perhaps the password isn't valid.
    if the reset didn't work, try signing out of iTunes and App Store, then back in.
    have you tried going to App Store - purchased and tapping on the cloud icon for the apps you want?   You will still be asked for your password.

  • None of the uninstalling add-ons methods worked, have 7 disabled extensions with no uninstall button

    Firefox updated to FF6.0 basically all of my installed add-ons were disabled because they are not compatible with FF6.0. All of the disabled add-ons do not have uninstall buttons. There were no folders in the install/extension folder. Globally, there were no identifiable extension folders, i.e. the names of the folders looked like many of the entries in the windows registry, a mixture of letters, numbers and other symbols. Inside the folders there is no way to identify what program installed the "extension".

    Wow.........finally got it figured out.........all I had to do was delete a few corrupt files, and all is well again. Ugh........those video download extensions were *bad news*. Almost 3 am here on the West Coast........I can finally wipe the tear stains off my glasses and go to bed.
    For anyone who ends up with error code 203 after downloading some bad sh*t, see this page:
