how can we block direct access...? was created by hasan

Hi,
I uploaded videos to the server with ftp program.
I created different categories, and these categories have been arranged for registered users to see.
I want to show to the vıdeo to only the regıstered users not general public.For example if anyone types
" xxxxxx.com/media/com_allvideoshare/engli...abby_and_herlies.mp4 type", they can reach to the video without registering the platform.
Thus, how can we block direct access by typing the web addres and only allow to the registered users?

Then, you need to do "Hot link protection" in your .htaccess file to block direct access for your video files. In such case, you need to use relative file paths to add your videos in All Video Share component back-end.

Kindly follow perishablepress.com/creating-the-ultimat...hotlinking-strategy/

I have the same need to block access in my site and tried to make "Hot link protection" in accordance with Perishablepress. It does not work.
Can anyone describe in more detail how to do?
My videos are stored in a subfolder to /com_allvideoshare.

Kindly try the following and it works well for me,

RewriteEngine On
 RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?MYDOMAIN.COM [NC]
 RewriteRule \.(mp4)$ - [NC,F,L]
