i need to find a solution how to do it. Basically i have one .m3u8 video and i want to restrict it to be only played on my domain. Basically what are people doing right now, is stealing my video and playing on their sites, which causes big overload and a lot of bandwidth...
d23ek3kf.cloudfront.net/video.m3u8 > mydomain.com > video accessable
d23ek3kf.cloudfront.net/video.m3u8 > randomdomain.com > video not accessable

The way to do it is using signed URLs. Your website will generate signed URLs for the video that is being played that the user wants to play and cloudfront will allow the content to be downloaded. Signed URLs exire after a specified amount of time.
Any other website will just have he link of the video which is not enough to download the video. Take a look at AWS documentation here to understand the details and mechanism to achieve it. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/PrivateContent.html
