hello, I saw there is an option to disable audio download: at onebox/lib/onebox/engine/audio_onebox.rb at main · discourse/onebox · GitHub and disable_media_download_controls: SiteSetting.disable_onebox_media_download_controls, at discourse/lib/oneboxer.rb at 03998e0a299b7ae89678e2854e3abf84bd6ef132 · discourse/discourse · GitHub So I tried to write it using ./launcher enter app rails c SiteSetting.disable_onebox_media_download_controls=true and also here vi containers/app.yml under params: disable_media_download_controls: true disable_onebox_media_download_controls: true under env: DISCOURSE_DISABLE_ONEBOX_MEDIA_DOWNLOAD_CONTROLS: true but still audio can be downloaded through the onebox’s “download” option. Anyone can help? many thanks.

I don’t know, but how should one listen audio if download is disabled?

there is a download option if you click the three dots at the end: see picture from this post: [image] Native audio player Support Should work That is ![crowd-cheering|audio](upload://1S0emZY56PQCpG8ftu9URpV3M1d.mp3) What I want is that the explicit download option is hidden/disabled, while people can still use this to listen to the audio.

I still don’t get it. Discourse can’t streaming so audiofile must be downloaded for listening. Or am I totally wrong? Or do you accept downloading when a user doesn’t know they are downloading because one’s device doesn’t ask where it should save? Yet, that audio is possible to save anyway via recording :wink: Sorry — I don’t help a bit but I would like to understand why, what, where and everything :rofl: My very weak point is that kind disabling attempts are succesfully rarely, Or needed. But fine if it is doable.

if you allow explicit download option, then the audio/video content could be stored/used/commercialised elsewhere, where such intellectual property may not be authorised properly. So it is probably wise to make the default option to disable the explicit download option. Can you advise how to achieve that in the setting/code level. thanks.

It’s not something I’ve used, but is anything in this topic any help? [image] Add copyright protection to tagged topics Developers Hello, Many of our Member have quality topics, blog articles etc… Unfortunately others steal these (and make it public other sites as their own without any source) even if the author says clearly. “I only write it to this site please don’t steal it..If you want to use this content please contact me before.” We had to do something because our authors are simply discouraged from creating new quality contents. We don’t want to make the forum closed (private) because many visitor read these content…

As far as the website (using discourse) itself is concerned, it is important to avoid any future IP-related issue. Even if the author use a TC or some sort of theme, any infringement of the IP could make the website liable for potential damage etc. Even if the website may seem to have nothing to do with it, just because it acts as a channel of exchange, some lawyer may have other thoughts. So to disable explicit download option should be quite useful, as you wouldn’t see such option on most of the big websites like youtube. Can anyone help with the code/setting to make it happen please.

how to rebake or edit the post?

Click on the post … button, then on the :wrench: button and finally on “Rebuild HTML”

“Rebuild HTML” done, but still have the “Download” option.

Oh I see, the site setting only affect onebox, so only the second type of audio, not the first one because it isn’t technically a onebox.
