How to hide confusing setting for video download

Is there any way to hide the setting that falsely suggests a user should be able to download the videos?

For our sensitive app, all of the videos are streamed from YouTube. (This is necessary because any other server would be blocked by the local authorities, but there’s no way they will block YouTube.) All of our audio files are streamed or downloadable from GitHub (again, because that’s too big to be blocked).

However, the users still see a setting for “Video download or streaming” where they can select between “Stream video files” and “Download video files”.

Is there a way to hide this setting? I would have expected that if all videos are set to an “Online” source with URLs, such a setting would not be displayed to the users, no?

I would delete “Download” as an option for video sources, except that it seems that even though one reaches these in SAB from either the audio or video settings, they are actually the same setting. (For audio, it’s good that they can choose to either download or stream.) Perhaps they shouldn’t be?

You should be able to set the File Source for the video to be “Files are streamed”

As an extra precaution, you can turn off this setting:

Thank you, Chris!

For the record, it was in the settings under the Navigation Drawer where I needed to make the change. (Changing the access method for Video to “Files are streamed” makes the same change for Audio, too, which we want the user to be able to select, so I could not use that option.)

You can create multiple file sources of the same type (e.g. download from internet) with different names and settings and use a separate one for video that has it set to only stream.

Hmm … but now that I think about it, YouTube links should only stream. You should not be able to download.
