Prevent IDM from downloading the video #2409

We are creating a video streaming site and using this awesome video player. But we do not want user to download our videos using Internet Download Manager. We want to prevent the IDM pop up for downloading video from appearing. Is it possible to achieve?

Thanks a ton for creating this awesome player.

I dont think it is possible to prevent the user from downloading. Because the user can find the media file easily by finding in the Network tab and I guess IDM will find the media from it.

Human way: not possible Inhuman way: send videos like chunks and update url as the user continue to watch (what youtube MAYBE using) The beast mode: Send frames by frames, draw them in canvas element, play the audio The ghost mode: Don't show anything at all (lol)
