how do we fight the leeching software like Kodi.tv or other Python app

So the Media Player like Kodi.tv can leech everything. They scan the website, get RTMP URL, securetoken, and feed it into their Media Player and play for free. There are millions of Kodi users now. What can we do to fight them? Do rtmps protocol plus securetoken help? It is really frustrating nothing can stop them from leeching. If somebody have a solution please let me know.

Hello,

The only thing I am aware that will fight this leaching is the use of DRM. At this level, the ts chunks are encrypted and require the DRM player to decrypt the stream. Read more about this option in our articles.

I hope this helps.
