I'm sorry to bump an old thread, but I was wondering if someone could clue me in as to the most common hotlinking method so I can test this. I've uploaded the prescribed htaccess file and an image to be displayed on the theif's site. I've done a test embed on a blog and the embed worked good, which is what I wanted. But now how do I test to see if hotlinking will be stopped?

Update --

I just used the player setup wizard to load up one of my flv files directly. Since this is external of my site I thought it should be stopped and the thief image displayed. Unfortunately, the video played just fine, so it seems like maybe it's not protecting against hotlinking after all.

Has anyone tested this successfully?
