Possible solution for anti hotlinking wmv's?

Umm, you could get the same thing by just zipping the files and putting a password on them. End user unzips with the password and looks at the file.

However, if you make it too hard to see the videos (too much work) people are not going to line up to see your site.

Just one of those things.

Want to make it easier? Set up a cron job that changes the name of the directory with the movies in it every day, and have your pages generated by PHP on the fly with the links in them. Then you are out for only a day max.

Heck, cron it every hour if you like :-)
