Apache2 read permission/ownership

Applications Web Development
1

Hello,
Summary:
I am looking for a solution regarding reading permissions in apache2/ubuntu
I have a source video which plays without any issue on the website. File is located into apache2 directory.
What I need to do is to move the file into another directory which can't be accessible from outside but it accepts read request coming from apache2 so that it will only play on website.

Detail:
Is there a way to play an m3u8 source video on a website where m3u8 is not located under apache2 directory.
Let's say:
Apache2 directory: /home/html/
Source file located: /mnt/1.m3u8

excerpted from index.html file:

<source type="application/x-mpegURL" src="/mnt/1.m3u8">

directory section of /etc/apache2/sites-available/000*.conf :

        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride None
       </Directory>
                <Directory /home/html>
                        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                        AllowOverride All
                        Require all granted
                </Directory>

Maybe I need to change chown + chmod + apache2 settings..
Please let me know if such a thing can be done.

Thank you
Boris

@baris35 , what have you tried, sometimes the best way to success is to try,see what went wrong try again ... repeat.
