Just wondered what the current status was regarding handling/management of file permssions on S3?

Is this something Video module is or should be managing, or should we be looking to the S3 Module and integration with core public/private file handling for a solution?

From what I can see there is currently no way of specifiying what file access permissions a file should have if it's not stored in the drupal private directory, and currently all video files are automatically given 'public read' permissions when stored on S3.

Anyone have any thoughts ideas about how we could go about implementing finer grained control?

Thanks.

Been reading the latest developments on a similar thread at : http://drupal.org/node/1827606 - which has half solved the issue by providing a global option make videos private.

However, should the public/private control not be at the file field (as per Core handling of file fields) rather than at a global transcoder level?

Ideally we are looking for a system that would allow file access permissions to reflect node access permissions. i.e. if a video attached to a publicly accessible (anon user) node, the video would also be accessible. If the node required authentication for access, then the file would also require authentication.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
