Prevent audio files from being downloaded

Support
#1

Hi, I use PowerPress to publish podcasts from posts on my wordpress site. Most of the pages look like this: https://www.unitedfaithchurch.org/in-the-waiting/ where the player is a dark bar with no options for downloading the audio file.

On some pages I am using “The Grid” plugin to display the post and also play the audio file. In these cases there is the option to download the file like this page (middle of page for podcasts): https://www.unitedfaithchurch.org

The Powerpress plugin uses MediaElement.js Audio Player to play all of the podcasts on the website but there is no option to disable the download feature.

Is this something that can be disabled through code?
Thanks!

Hey @clefler,

Regretfully this isn’t a feature offered by the products we currently offer. It could be possible with custom development, but this would be outside the scope of support we can offer. You may wish to consult a developer to assist you with this. Our themes are quite extensible with child themes, so there are plenty of possibilities.

Thanks for understanding. Take care!

Hey thanks, my name is Christian too!
So the theme doesn’t use the MediaElement.js Audio Player, what is used in X for the audio player elements?

Hey @clefler,

The Audio element is actually using MediaElement.js Audio Player. Be advised that what you wanted is beyond the theme. It is more likely to need custom coding if ever you do not want someone from downloading your audio files. Kindly check out these articles:

Thank you for your understanding.
