Business Scenarios - Content Management

Business Scenarios​

Geo-Restricted Premium Content​

A sports broadcaster restricts live event playback to viewers in licensed countries. Create a profile with a country condition that blocks playback outside US and Canada, applied to the PLAY context. Viewers in blocked regions receive the rule message. Viewers in authorized regions stream normally.

Domain-Locked Embedding​

An educational publisher restricts video playback to their own domain. Create a profile with a site condition matching *.publisher.com with not=true, and a block action. Attempts to embed the player on unauthorized domains result in a playback error.

Device-Specific Scheduling Windows​

A media company has different availability windows for iPad vs web viewers. Create rules with combined user-agent + metadata conditions:

  • Rule 1: If user-agent matches iPad AND current time is between metadata sunrise/sunset fields, set stopProcessing=true (allow)
  • Rule 2: No conditions, block action (catch-all for everything that did not match Rule 1)

Preview/Paywall​

A content platform allows 30-second previews for anonymous visitors and full access for authenticated subscribers:

  • Rule 1: If NOT authenticated, apply preview action with limit=30
  • Authenticated users pass through with no actions (full access)

Block Long-Form Content on Mobile​

A media company blocks feature-length content on specific mobile devices. Create a rule with two conditions: user-agent matches mobile brands AND metadata FormatType equals "Long Form". Action: block.
