It would be nice to have some sort of authentication for the original video download. Zencoder supports SFTP and HTTP Basic Auth. In order to use these features, the input url of the job created by the video module would have to be changed. Are there any plans to include this in future releases?

My use case:
I have private files enabled and do not allow pubic access to videos. Zencoder, however, needs one-time access to the original video file.

Here is a patch that adds the following things:

  • a username and a password field in the Zencoder system settings form
  • a menu item that allows for downloading the original video file using the username and password from the Zencoder system settings form

If a username and a password are stored, the Zencoder input url is altered in order to transfer the original video file using the menu item. The access callback ensures that original videos are transferred when the correct credentials are provided and the video's transcoding status is VIDEO_RENDERING_ACTIVE.
