Videos are streamed using industry-standard DRM and can only be viewed by authenticated users. The plugin works out of the box using either a shortcode or a Gutenberg block. All communication with BMDRM happens server-side, keeping your API key secure. ### Features * DRM-protected video playback * Shortcode and Gutenberg block support * Server-side API handling (API keys never exposed) * Logged-in user access control * Responsive video player * Simple admin settings page * Rate limiting for API protection ### Requirements * WordPress 5.0 or later * PHP 7.4 or later * BMDRM account with API key * Users must be logged in to view videos * **HTTPS is required on production sites** - HTTP works only on `localhost` for development ### Usage #### Shortcode Embed a video using: ``` [bmdrm video="YOUR_VIDEO_ID"] ``` Example: [bmdrm video=”15c7b691-f5e5-4dba-84e5-584b91352ce5″] #### Gutenberg Block 1. Open the block editor 2. Add the **BMDRM Video** block 3. Paste your video ID (GUID format) 4. Publish or update your post ### External services This plugin relies on the BMDRM (video-crypt.com) third party service to deliver DRM-protected video playback. It is required for the plugin to function: without it, no video can be played. What the service is and what it is used for: BMDRM is a commercial DRM and secure video streaming service provided by BMDRM. The plugin uses it to request a short- lived, secure playback session URL for each embedded video. The returned URL is then loaded inside an iframe so the end user can watch the DRM-protected video. What data is sent and when: Every time a logged-in user views a page containing a `[bmdrm]` shortcode or a BMDRM Video block, your WordPress site makes a server- side request to `https://cdn-lb.video-crypt.com/api/Sessions` containing: * The video ID configured in the shortcode/block (set by the site administrator). * The current WordPress user’s username (`user_login`), used by BMDRM to bind the session to the viewer. * Your BMDRM API key, sent as an `apiKey` HTTP header (stored on your server, never exposed to the browser). No request is made until a page with the shortcode/block is rendered for a logged- in user. Service provider and legal links: This service is provided by BMDRM (https://bmdrm. com). * Terms of Service: https://bmdrm.com/terms-of-service/ * Privacy Policy: https://bmdrm.com/privacy-policy/ By using this plugin you agree that the data described above is transmitted to BMDRM in order to provide the video playback functionality. ### Privacy Policy This plugin connects to the BMDRM API (https://cdn-lb.video-crypt.com/api/Sessions) to retrieve secure video playback URLs. Data sent to BMDRM: * Video ID * WordPress username (`user_login`) * API key (sent as an HTTP header; stored securely on the server and never exposed to the browser) No additional personal data is collected by this plugin.

Install the plugin from **Plugins Add New** 2. Activate **BMDRM Video Player** 3. Go to **Settings BMDRM Video** 4. Enter your BMDRM API key and save 5. Ensure your site uses HTTPS (required for DRM) ## FAQ ### Where do I get a video ID? From your BMDRM dashboard. ### Do users need to be logged in? Yes. Videos are restricted to authenticated users. ### Why doesn’t the video work on HTTP? DRM requires a secure browser context. Production sites must use HTTPS. HTTP works only on `localhost` for development. ### Can I add multiple videos on one page? Yes. You can embed multiple shortcodes or blocks on the same page. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “BMDRM Video Player” is open source software.
