Hi,

Firstly, AWESOME module, I have been tinkering for a while with it and this afternoon (using the Dev version) it all went **click** and works great uploading from a CCK filefield, moving the file to S3 and then replacing the original CCK field with the S3 URL... flippen beautiful.. thank you.

Now my question (or it may be a request) is how would I limit the amazon s3 served file to only being served on the the site it was uploaded from. I have premium content I am trying to protect from hotlinking and if I use the private setting for Amazon S3 then it is prevented from being show on my site as well.

I am not sure if this is in the realm of Media Mover or if there is another way to prevent people working out the URL and accessing the video without paying.

Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks again for a great addition to drupal

I think that HTTP video streaming is going to be the best way to "hide" the source of the video.
At least I am hoping... some good tuts http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/tutorials/HTTP-Video-Streaming
