Description of my issue:
Hello,
I would like to know if you have chances to block access to a video file in any directory Joomlae release only when run by people logged on the site.

Ie I want to block direct access to the site, accessing meusite.com/media/video.mp4 the visitor can not access, and access only after you've logged.

Thanks for listening!

No, you cannot do that with our software: it's not its job. You will have to use a third party extension which limits access to media files only to specific user groups.
