How to restrict access to the streaming link?

The operator can control the availability of the streaming link based on user data.

In Ministra TV platform since version 5.6, you can restrict access to the link by IP address.

To set up filtering, you must specify one of the following values in the Filter field when adding a streaming link:

country (two-letter code in upper case, for example, UA);
connection type (WiFi/Ethernet);
device model (MAG family STBs for example, MAG250, MAG275; Roku; Apple TV; IOS);
IP range (one IP address, ranges like 111.222.0.0/16 or 111.222.0.0-111.222.1.255). If the user's IP address matches the specified address or is in the range of IP addresses, then the streaming link will be available to the user. Otherwise, the link will be unavailable.

In order to be able to specify a device as a filter, its model must be specified in the parameter allowed_stb_types in the custom.ini file. For example, to restrict access to the link for Smart TV, add the following value:

allowed_stb_types = SmartTV

Then specify the appropriate filter:
