BMDRM Video Player vs Shortcodes Ultimate – Content Elements

BMDRM Video Player allows you to embed secure, DRM-protected videos from your BMDRM account into WordPress posts and pages. 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 Open the block editor Add the BMDRM Video block Paste your video ID (GUID format) 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. For details on how BMDRM handles this data, see the BMDRM Privacy Policy: https://bmdrm.com/privacy-policy/ Support For plugin issues, use the WordPress.org support forum.
