Are you talking about using rclone serve http here?

You can get the player to send the user/pass can't you?

yes im using rclone serve http
actually i want an authentication without sharing any user/pass to user, only my player can authenticate and play that video.
Thanks

In the general case this is imposible as your player (which runs in the users browser) can be inspected by the user and the user can work out the credentials needed.

You can only make it harder for the user I think. So you could embed a username/password into the player (obfuscated somehow) which would stop casual users playing videos not via your player.

rclone serves the file as is, direct play.
dropbox can transcode media files
