But he cannot tell the difference between a streming player and a download, because the steaming player already performs the download anyway.Ĭan a website claim that stream players are the same as downloads of a video? Not really, the number of people using stream players is big, notably VLC. He can, therefore, tell is you used the browser interface to his website or a streaming player. ConclusionĪ website maintainer can tell if you looked at a webpage or not when you were watching the video. If someone on the streaming website can look at the webserver logs he can conlude whether you saw the page through a browser or not (stream players do not have JS engines). When you watch through a browser you also see the rest of the website, the banners are fetched, the JS is executed. Therefore there is (almost) no difference between using a streaming player ( vlc or mpv) and watching from a browser. The video need to reach your machine's memory at some point to be played.
When you watch a video through a browser the video is downloaded to your machine alright before being displayed. Browser noteīut wait, when I watch a video through a browser is isn't being downloaded right? Wrong. The video is downloaded to my machine before playing. When a user types (or I do it, since I just typed this to make a test): mpv The backend supports youtube URLs by means of youtube-dl (and youtube-dl is/can be used in VLC). The backend of video display on Linux is today ffmpeg (which is used by mpv and vlc as well). The example I'll use for this argument is the way how most Linux users watch videos. How a website knows if a video has been watched or downloaded?Īnd the simple answer is: It cannot know for sure.
