Yes, I wanted to restrict dirct access to the folder where I stored the local videos, so I added this to my htaccess file;
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?yourdomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule \.(mp4)$ - [NC,F,L]
I mis-typed my domain(!) but when I corrected it, it is all working now.
Hope this helps someone else.
