Hi all,

I’ve managed to successfully embedded wmv files on to my pages and they appear to play as they are downloading but as soon as I place a .htaccess file the wmvs won’t load.

I have the following in the .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.mydomain.com/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://mydomain.com/

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.myavs.com/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://myavs.com/

RewriteRule .* http://mydomain.com/re-direct.htm

I would appreciate any help I can get as I want to be able to protect my members directory and at the same time have my videos load. I have tried to follow a few guides from other forums but to confusing for me.

Thanks

I think you need to change your RewriteCond to be

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.mydomain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://mydomain.com/.*$ [NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.myavs.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://myavs.com/.*$ [NC]
