Enabling MediaCage Basic DRM

  1. Login to bunny.net dashboard.
  2. Click on Stream and select desired video library.
  1. Go to Security tab.
  1. In the Security tab, you will find the DRM toggle switch. Simply toggle it on to enable DRM protection for the selected video library.

After MediaCage Basic DRM is enabled on video library, the media files are instantly protected by employing the dynamic encryption when accessing the media files.

Limitations

MediaCage DRM is designed to provide a robust security framework for your digital media content. However, to maintain the highest level of protection, there are certain functional limitations that you need to be aware of:

Embed view only

MediaCage strictly enforces content playback through its proprietary Embed View. This means that any attempts to access or play videos directly from the file storage or through third-party video players are not supported and will be automatically disabled. This restriction ensures that all content remains within the secure environment of MediaCage, preventing unauthorized access and distribution.

No MP4 fallback and Early-Play support

MediaCage does not support MP4 fallback and Early-Play features when activated on a video library. These features are often susceptible to security vulnerabilities, including unauthorized downloads and premature content access. By disabling these options, MediaCage enhances the security of the media content, ensuring that all playback adheres strictly to the established DRM protocols and cannot be circumvented.

These limitations are put in place to ensure that MediaCage can offer the most secure and controlled environment for hosting and sharing digital media content.
