HI. I have 2 related issues I need help with.
Firstly – I cannot get downloads from Amazon S3 to work. I want to sell videos – they are big (200Mb to 600Mb) so weren’t working using the default setup so I’ve moved them to S3.
I have triple checked the set up and I have the right keys entered and am following the naming requirements.
When I generate a download link to this file:
[as3tp://hmcas3.s3.amazonaws.com/videos/working_with_crystal_grids_mp4.mp4]
I get nothing on pasting the download link into a browser. I just get a blank browser window (no blue page with error details) and the download doesn’t start.
The download log shows the following (edited for privacy):
[04/13/2012 11:36 PM] – Status : AS3TP URI request = ….crystal_grids_mp4.mp4
[04/13/2012 11:36 PM] – Status : Dispatching AS3TP URL = ….crystal_grids_mp4.mp4?AWSAccessKeyId=[removed]&Expires=1334360511&Signature=[removed]
What am I doing wrong?
Second issue – once I have this fixed I want to know if I can distribute multiple files using digital variation.
The scenario is – I sell classes that consist of a pdf and video file. Buyer can choose to receive video in either AVI or MP4 format. I have tested having 1 file in the digital variation field and it works – for example:
Video Format|MP4::http://www.domain.com/downloads/Video.MP4|AVI::http://www.domain.com/downloads/Video.AVIBut if I put 2 files in separated by a comma it doesn’t work.
I know I can use zip files to bundle the 2 files, but I’d prefer not to as this adds another level of complexity that some buyers just can’t cope with!
So – can I have 2 files for each variation?
Thanks for your help!

Update:
It was determined that S3 was properly setup, but the media disposition of some object types, like PDF, MP4 and AVI would cause the browser to try and open, instead of download. The solution is to force the media disposition of S3 objects to download; as discussed in…
If you want to have multiple files for each variation, you could use the following procedure:
1. For each digital product variation, create ONE WordPress page, containing Download Now buttons for each of the files associated with that particular variation. Download Now buttons are preferred over links, because the buttons will obfuscate the download location of the files, and links will expose them.
2. Use the APRTP shortcodes to protect the Download Now buttons…

3. Enter the path, using the APRTP scheme, to the product variation pages in the digital product variation filed:
License|Single::aprtp://yourdomain.com/single|Business::aprtp://yourdomain.com/business
I’m assuming that “APRTP” is something unique to Amazon.com?
So far all I’ve found from googling is information about protecting the rainforest.
APRTP stands for “Authenticated Page Redirect Transfer Protocol.”

WP eStore’s Pay Per View – Using WordPress Permalinks as Digital Products (APR)
It is an RFC-3986 compliant URI that is proprietary to the eStore product. The PHP class can be found in the eStore_classes/eStore_aprtp.php file.
Because this exchange refers to – “APRTP “, I’m posting here to try to get help understanding the distinction between APRTP and AS3TP. I searched the Forum for “AS3TP” but found no results.
I’m using WP Lightbox Ultimate to setup a webpage using wp_lightbox_embed_protected_s3_video” code references.
I have WP LightBox Ultimate, WP eStore and WP eMember, but WP eMember is not currently installed. For a variety of reasons, I cannot use WP eMember for the websitge I’m building.
The site is selling Pay Per View products (on-page videos), not downloable digital files.
I’m follow instructions for “Method 2” in this tutorial PDF
Using these instructions, I’ve created a prototype page that will display several parts of content separately, but all on one page. The videos are sourced to AWS S3.
[http://www.learningviavideo.com/foreclosed-homes-for-sale-ful/]
From this instruction:
http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/using-wordpress-permalinks-as-digital-products-apr-1217
… it’s my understanding I need to surround this “APR target”
[http://www.learningviavideo.com/foreclosed-homes-for-sale-ful/]
with APR Shortcode, right?
I guess my question is, when I set up the web page using “Method 2” mentioned above, do I also need to use the “as3tp” replacement for http in the AWS S3 embed code references within the APR Target page?
Hope this make sense.
Last question. Whoever replies to this inquiry, what time zone in the world are you in.
THANK YOU!!!!
AS3TP is for when you want to sell digital downloads (videos, mp3, pdf etc) from your amazon s3 account as downloadable files via eStore plugin. You are not selling them as downloads. You are selling access to a page where they can view whatever video you have on that page. So you only need to use the pay per view feature on WP eStore plugin side:
http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/using-wordpress-permalinks-as-digital-products-apr-1217
For your scenario, please setup the pay per view page first (the embedding of the video on that page comes later).
Here is what you do to setup a WordPress page with pay per view feature:
1) Use the APRTP URL in eStore’s digital url field. So you would use the following:
[aprtp://www.learningviavideo.com/foreclosed-homes-for-sale-ful/]
2) Now in the above WordPress page, add your content inside the shortcode. Here is an example of how that page structure will look like:
[wp_eStore_APR expiry=0 status=unexpired]
Whatever content goes inside this shortcode will only be view-able after payment.
Video 1 embedding code goes here
Video 2 embedding code goes here
Video 3 embedding code goes here
[/wp_eStore_APR]The above completes your basic pay per view setup.
Now, the video embedding part. You can use many different methods to embed your videos inside those APR shortcodes (so they are only visible after payment). In your case, you will be using the lightbox plugin to embed videos from your amazon s3 account. So add the lightbox plugin’s shortcode to put the video inside those APR shortcode. You can embed as many videos as you want inside that APR shortcode (they will all be protected).
This is very helpful!!! I’ve printed this out for future reference to avoid further confusion related to “as3tp” versus “aprtp”
Your explanation prompted another question, which I think I already know the answer to, but don’t want to make a dangerous assumption.
Your note mentions this:
“Here is what you do to setup a WordPress page with Pay Per View feature:
[wp_eStore_APR expiry=0 status=unexpired]
Whatever content goes inside this short code will only be view-able after payment.
Video 1 embedding code goes here
Video 2 embedding code goes here
Video 3 embedding code goes here
[/wp_eStore_APR]”
Question: If I have a page with embedded code like below, do I also surround all that with the standard eStore content protection short code?
==========
[wp_eStore_APR expiry=0 status=unexpired]
>>>>> Do I / Can I / Should I put the embedded content using short code like below here? <<<<<
[wp_lightbox_embed_protected_s3_video name=”Internet Marketing Seminar_qtp.mp4″ bucket=”smnrfullpaid” width=”480″ height=”360″]
(Within the standard eStore protection short code)
[/wp_eStore_APR]
==========
… or does the lightbox short code “[wp_lightbox_embed_protected_s3_video name=”… ” provide the same protection as this >>>> [wp_eStore_APR expiry=0 status=unexpired] content [/wp_eStore_APR]?
