    Hey everyone,

    Today I tried to steam some video on my website, so only members can see it, however it looks like... I cannot?

    I'm using JWplayer
    http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/

    and when I first played the video with the flv file inside the protected folder, I got a "Video not found or access denied"
    I was hoping it wasn't because of "access denied" but... it was....
    I moved the file outside of the protected folder and bam, the video is loading....

    Is there a way to fix that somehow?..

    Thank you

    What form of protection are you using- htaccess should be ok, are you logged in as a member with the ability to access that folder? Are your javascript, css files outside of the protected area?

    Nevermind, wow the problem is gone now. I think there might have been some kind of login mixup or something.
    aMember is amazing guys. Thank you for such an awesome system. Users can only watch the video if they login, but also if not logged in, the video will not give be shown due to restricted access!
