How can implement security feature where the link is set to expire in 30 minutes yet once user clicked play within the 30 minutes the video can be played in full?

say we have a video that is 2 hours long and we set SecureToken’s EndTime to 30 minutes after current Time. We notice the video won’t get played completely since the link is expired before play is complete.

Question:

Hello, is this for HLS playback by any chance? When accessing the Apple HLS stream protected by Secure Token, the name of the media TS chunks also contains the encrypted secure token information. The player is the one requesting the media TS chunks using the TS chunk name, as referenced in the chunklist.m3u8 file. Since the player is requesting a TS chunk which is using secure token information that is no longer valid (expired) Wowza server will reject that request.

Can you confirm the protocol for playback so I can provide the proper guidance? Thanks.
