Help needed: how to hide a streaming link!

I have a streaming link which I want to publish it on a web page, but my goal is that no one else can take that link and publish on other sites.
What I'm trying to do is to make a java script function or to split streaming link in many parts in one file and call it on a webpage so that other people can't see the link, they can see only a function or domain link (different from streaming link) when they check the source code.

In short, the streaming link should be like this:
http://streaming.video.com/user/password/video.ts

I want the link to be shown as:
http://www.domain.com/video/player.ts

Cheers.

What I have tried:

C#

What I've tried is as following:
I have a file named straming.html and here is the code for the player:
<pre lang="HTML"> &lt;embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" name="VLC" autoplay="yes" loop="yes" volume="100" width="640px" height="320px" target="http://DomaiNanme.com:8000/live/username/password/file.ts">
</pre>

All I want is to hide the streaming link using a function in JavaScript for example:
<pre lang="Javascript">function streamingLink()
{
	window.location.href="http://DomainName:8000/live/username/password/file.ts";
}</pre>

How to call this function streamingLink() on the page streaming.html so that other users can't se the link where the streaming is hosted.
Cheers.

Short answer: you don't.
No matter what you do, there is a point where the browser will know the link address, simply because it can't download the file without the link.

Using "username/password" in the link is a bad idea.

A solution is to create a temporary link on server side and make the server answer to that link only for a limited period. After the period, the server don't answer anymore.

According to your solution, correct me if I'm wrong, you are saying that I need to manipulate the .htaccess file or something similar.

Not exactly.
I have never used it, but I know there is a technic with a process on server side, the process handle any page request and see if the page is real or not.
If the page do not exist, the process use the address to know what it must do.
