htaccess embedded video

[croky]

Hi,

I've got a website/server which domain is for example
domain-a.com

every html, image files is stored on the domain-a.com site/server.

all my videos are stored on a seperate server
domain-b.com

I want to use embedded wmv files from domain-b.com on domain-a.com with hotlink protection on.

But when I turn hotlink protection on, on domain-b.com it doesn't load, I did put [domain-a.com...] and [domain-a.com...] to the allow list.

Because of that I can direct link to the wmv file on domain-b.com but it doesn't seem to work in embedded mode.

It only works when I Allow direct requests to files on domain-b.com but then everyone can use the video files on their servers in embedded mode.

Anyone knows an solution?

This is the example of what I mean with embedded mode on the site/domain-a.com

Would placing the link to the video inside an iframe do the trick,, would the server with video then think a session or whatever is being created on the site it hosts?
