Disable allowing download video by default

[kirill2400]

How to set "allow download video" setting when publishing to false in config by default? I did not found this setting in production.yaml. I have many video that must be undownloadable

You can save videos as internal but anyone who logs in will still be able to download them.

You can't disable downloads.

I am saying about this toggle

"Allow download video"

[SimplyCorbett]

Oh. It's in the advanced settings when publishing the video.

I'll shutup and let Chocobozzz answer you.

You can't configure the default for downloadEnabled (and commentsEnabled). It's hardcoded to true as default.

I also really want this daw to be unchecked by default. I have asked this question for a long time. Or, for example, by default, for all videos, leave only the torrent download, but disable direct file download.

I strongly suggest to have this as default per user basis. I, as admin, would like to be able to set a global default. I think the download button is a fantastic thing and in par with what Peertube stands for: free, open. Opposite of youtube: locked.

+1 on an admin setting to set the default value of the download button to off and the ability for users to turn it on.

@Alterak @tio-trom @rscmbbng
I tried to make my first plugin that would at least sort of solve this problem
See the link (within 24 hours it will appear in the pertube register):
https://www.npmjs.com/package/peertube-plugin-denydownload

You can help if you want

@kirill2400 thank you for that! However, I think such a rudimentary feature should be part of the upstream project.

Thanks, but I remind you that what I did is blocking the download of the video in the modal window, that is, it will not be possible to download even what is allowed with a checkmark.

Default value of this setting can now be changed by admins: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/config/production.yaml.example#L81

Is it working in 4.0.0?

[Chocobozzz]

No it will be included in 4.1.0
