This is an image of a little experiment I did using a VLC player and Simon Brown's video example of the blokes with the brazing in Step 9 of 31.

I right-clicked the title of Simon's video file and was presented with this URL:

http://elggstreamfolio.s3.amazonaws.com/video12974937579617.mp4?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAITH6HUBQCA4B4WFQ&Expires=1300184741&Signature=1NmFNRazMi4%2B492%2FCT0bAUrGiFs%3

I then went to TinyURL and compressed the URL to:

http://tinyurl.com/685j9fq

In my VLC player I selected the option to play video from a URL and hey presto, even when I was logged out I could play the video clearly through my player.

In fact, copy the TinyURL yourself, log out of Streamfolio altogether and see if the video plays for you also. There are a number of ramifications about this feature which we will have to investigate, both good and worrying.
