PUT /panda_only_playback/

Enables or disables strict playback origin checking for the library of the authenticated user.

📘

What this mode does

When enabled, the stream can only be played through the Panda player. The player sends the required origin/referer credentials, so the official embed keeps working normally — in browsers and in in-app WebViews alike. Requests that hit the .m3u8 URL directly, outside the player, are refused.

⚠️

Check your integrations before enabling

Anything that consumes the .m3u8 URL outside the Panda player — a custom native player, a TV app, an offline flow — stops working while this mode is on. If every playback path goes through the official embed, there is no impact.

📘

Authorization

Requires a valid API token in the Authorization header (without Bearer prefix). The library is resolved from the token — there is no library_id in the path.

Disabling block_download also disables this mode, in cascade.

⚠️

Important

• Changes take a few minutes to apply. Settings are cached: allow up to ~6 minutes before the change affects playback, and responses may stay cached at the CDN for a short while after that.
• Non-boolean values are rejected with 400.
