Block video cdn

[SeyoS]

Hello, 

I'm using a filtering DNS to block some domain on my child's phone.

I want to block also video on Spotify and I try to identify domain of CDN linked to video streaming.

Where can I find a list of domains used by purpose?

Like image-cdn-ak.spotifycdn.com

Thanks for your help!

Hi @SeyoS,

Thanks for posting in the Spotify Community, and welcome!

The domains of video streams that I could find are:

• video-akpcw-cdn-spotify-com.akamaized.net
• video-ak.cdn.spotify.com.splitter-eip.akadns.net
• video-fa.scdn.co

Let me know if you have any other questions, and have a good day!

Thank you very much, I'll try that!

It worked perfectly, thanks!

I've found another for the Canvas:

• canvaz.scdn.co

I block these

video-ak.cdn.spotify.com.splitter-eip.akadns.net
video-fa.scdn.co
video-fa.cdn.spotify.com
video-fa-b.cdn.spotify.com
video4-ak.spotify.com

Test it yourself on your phone with a variety of video content such as interviews and video podcasts.

My allowlist is 38 hostnames.

FYI for anyone doing IP-based blocking, some Spotify video services are hosted on the same IP addresses as Spotify non-video services.
