Locking Videos / Live Videos

Two questions about videos.

1. Is there an ability to password protect videos. An example would be if a user uploaded a video and password protected it only allowing those with the password to view the video? Let's say a VP of a company wanted to upload a video on the current state of the company which was for internal use only. Is there a way to allow the video to only be viewed by members of the company with a password to the video?

2. Live Videos / Streaming - are there any plans to create a module for Live Video? So, someone could create a site like twitch.tv?

Thanks!

A user can set his profile so that only followers can see its content. Would that help?

No plans our end for live video at the moment. Sorry

1) you could do this easily with a small custom module listening for the "stream_file" and "download_file" events that would prompt for a password

2) No - this requires a flash server dedicated to streaming (such as Red5).

Hope this helps!

No, I wouldn't want to lock the whole profile, just selected videos and content. Let's say I was starting a JR site for businesses. The business would have a power user account with multiple accounts under that power user account. So, the business would want everyone to see their profile, but would also want to use the site to send non-public information to the sub-accounts or anyone else for that matter. If the business was legal in nature, maybe the user would want to send a draft legal doc for other members to review? Maybe a movie company was screening trailers for selected individuals?

Maybe it might be something you guys want to consider adding? Being able to control who has access to the content on a user by user basis might be a valuable feature versus a more broad sweeping method - profile privacy or restricting to a certain quota.

Thanks for the info. Maybe #1 would be something you'd want to add to the modules in the future? I'm going down the list projects I need to do and I know that's a requirement of one of them. That's the reason I asked.
