S3 FlowShield and eMember?

[Magus]

Hi folks

My master plan involves selling video based training. I know that I can protect pages and posts by using eMember. But I’m getting a bit confused over what else I need in order to deliver the video content. I was also advised that I should be using Amazon S3 for storing the videos. So I did create an account there and am ready to roll with that.

I’ve been looking at a plug in called S3FlowShield. The information on the S3FlowShield site says I can use any video player I like. But I’m a bit confused how it all ties together.

Is anyone here that has combined S3FlowShield and eMember and is willing to offer the highlights of the different layers? I’m not seeking a blow by blow on how to configure things. I’m really looking more for a high level overview so I can get a mental handle on how it’s all supposed to work.

Thanks… Rick

I’m not using S3FlowShield but I’m using a very similar product for my videos. S3 Media Vault.

I believe with S3FS you have some shortcodes that wrap your video file name that you have on amazon AWS. All you have to do is protect the page that you are going to embed you video on and you should be good to go.

Let me know if you have any more questions I’ll be glad to help!

Thanks for that, Joe! Looks like S3 Media Vault is more reasonably priced than S3FlowShield.

So are you doing training videos or what? If so, I’d love to chat offline to bounce ideas around.

Thanks again… Rick

Hey Joe

Can you give some detail on what you do or how you have implemented S3 Media Vault? I just purchased the script, installed it and activated it. I’m curious if I can coax it to behave as I’m hoping to and would like some input from another that has been down that road already.

Thanks… Rick
