Brightcove: Domain Restriction
NOTE: Currently, to use content restriction in Lenos Studio, you must copy and paste the advanced embed code from Brightcove, as an HTML snippet on to your site.
The player Content Restriction properties can be used to restrict a player to particular countries or block a player from particular countries. Domain restrictions can be added to a player to limit the domains where the player can be used.
Note: IE 10 and 11, in compatibility mode, will show Domain Restriction errors when viewing domain-restricted content.
To view and edit the Content Restriction properties for a player, open the Players module, click on a player name and click Content Restriction in the left navigation menu.
Note: Any changes made to a player may take up to 5 minutes to appear in published players.
Configuring Domain Restrictions
Domain restrictions can be set on players to limit the domains where players can be used. If the player publishing code is copied and used on another site, domain restrictions would prevent the player from loading any videos. Publishers must use the in-page embed code to get playback working on those domains that have been whitelisted. Publishers cannot use the iframe embed code on a whitelisted domain (or any other domain) and expect playback to function properly.
When using the domain restriction feature, domain restrictions should be configured for all players in your account. If all players are not configured with domain restrictions, someone could take the policy key from an unprotected player and use it to play any video.
To configure a domain restriction for a player, follow these steps:
1. Enter one or more complete domain URLs (such as http://www.brightcove.com or https://www.brightcove.com) to restrict your player's availability to these particular domains. Be sure to include either http:// or https://. Click +.
Note:
Complete URLs must be provided. Wildcards in URLs are not supported. URLs should not end with a /.
Only domains, not specific paths, are supported. For example, you can add https://www.brightcove.com, but not https://www.brightcove.com/documentation.
2. Click Save to save the changes.
