JwPlayer and protecting Videos from being downloading

Hello,

I'd like to know if JWPlayer protects the videos from being downloaded, I mean, because there are a lot of firefox Addons which allow to download videos with just playing it, but I found this page Tutplus.com, they use JWplayer and addons like the popular "Download Helper" and "Flash Video downloader" of firefox doesn't work to download it, is JWplayer giving this option? if it's not, what do you offer to protect the videos to be downloaded?

this is a link from that web using jwplayer

thanks for helping.

Their site uses RTMP which is why it can’t be downloaded.

I understand, but I didn't find an RTMP URL on their font code, I'd like to know why is this possible, and also I'd like to know how are they playing it on smartphones, because my site is showing a warning which says "No playable sources found" even in some firefox versions it shows me the same thing.

thanks for helping me Ethan...

this is the test URL of my site http://microcomca.sytes.net/

I know i'm being a little annoying, but the only answer I'd like to know is how are they using rtmp without using the rtmp:// protocol on their links in the font code.

just explain that please and sorry for being annoying, my enterprise is pushing me a lot for protecting videos, and it's the only way I see, and rtmp:// protocol is not working on phones but they use https:// and it's working on phones, why?

They are loading the files using this JS

https://tutsplus.com/wp-content/plugins/tuts-super-mega-streaming-video-player-wp-plugin/assets/jwplayer/jwplayer.premium.js?ver=2.1

It has RTMP in there.

You can base 64 encode your video links in html and decode them before init the player. Most of plugins parse HTML and search .mp4 and .flv url to download them. Or you can try to embed your video in iframe, firefox plugins won't search in them!
