Yes, you may have some files on your host and others on Amazon S3. Just be sure to follow the proper integration procedures for the S3 products.
You will also notice performance differences between the server hosted downloads and the Amazon S3 downloads (they are FASTER).
Under the general settings, enable the debug log files and then take note of the information posted to the download_manager_debug.log file.
You can always select the “manual upgrade request.”
Ah, woke up a little blurry eyed today and, saw “play” instead of “pay.” Since this is payment gateway related, this would be a question for Amin to answer when he gets in later.
Still outlining the code. Also spent two days in travel. I think I can recycle some of the Amazon S3 code.
Was it between two different domains, or was the initial page and the eStore on the same domain?
Okay, glad to see that you like the concept. I’ll need a few more days to wrap my head around how this can be coded. Please visit my contact form and leave me your contact information so that we can take this discussion offline…

I have a “less than half baked” idea, but it would be up to Amin to approve it as a possible eStore feature (someone has to be in charge). And please be aware that, as a custom job, it may cost more to implement than simply using eMember…
The idea is to modify the download manager, so that it knows the product URL is a page, not a file. Before redirecting to the page, a cookie that matches the encryption key is given to the user. Meanwhile on the redirected page, a short code could be used to only display content if a valid cookie is present.
I’ll need a few days more to mull out the details. Please let me know if you see any problems with this idea. And like I said, as a custom job, it may be less expensive to just use eMember.
Hmmm, I just noticed something missing from the discussion…
Are you using any kind of subscription or membership plugin to protect the page that calls up the videos? For instance, are you using eStore to sell access to a PPV page that is protected by eMember? If that is the case, it doesn’t matter if Google indexes that page because login credentials are needed to look at it. Then, you would have the actual videos themselves living on S3, which would be called up by Ultimate Lightbox, as described by Amin.
