hi everyone,

it there any possible way to hide the video file path in the media player that runs on html page ?

HTML Code:

<object ... >
<!-- one of tags holds the file source -->
</object>

thankx in advance ,

You could use some sort of encoding - but since it is all javascript, anyone can decode it.

Since you posted this under PHP - you could copy the video file to a temporary file and deliver the temporary file to the client. Be sure to clear the temporary files periodically to avoid filling up the disk.

I've liked the idea of temporary file. its cool. thanks man that was so helpful.

Mmmm,

if i made a temporary video file or sound file and pass it to the media player. the page loads and the media player will start buffering. the script ends the temporary file is removed. but the media was buffering. Wont that stop the media player from buffering , cause the file is not there now, right ?

This command will delete all files that are more than 24 minutes old - it should do the trick for you.

cd /path/to/sessions; find -cmin +24 | xargs rm;

You'll want to run it as a cron job, every 5 minutes should do.

So, the temporary file will exist for about 30 minutes, then be removed.

i've looked over and found this code

PHP Code:

$filename = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), 'filePrefix'); 

how can i pass it to the <object> cause i think it accept file only. how to do this ?
again, thank you so much for your help.

i did the temprory file thing with the function tempnam() . but it generate a random name after the file name extinsion. the code is :

PHP Code:

            # create a temporary file
            $tmpfile = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), 'test.mp3');
            
            # wanted file path
            $oregonalFile = 'uploadedfile/test.mp3';
            
            # read the wanted file
            if(file_exists($oregonalFile)) {
                $handle = @fopen($oregonalFile, "r");

                if($handle) {
                    $content = "";
                    
                    while (!feof($handle)) {
                        $content .= fread($handle,10000);
                    }
                    
                    $write = fopen($tmpfile, "w");
                    fwrite($tmpfile, $content);
                    
                    fclose($handle);
                    fclose($temfile);
                }
            }
            
            // this variable to use in the player template 
            $filevars['FILEURL'] = $tmpfile; 

this is the source i get back :

HTML Code:

	<embed name='avplayer'

		         src='/tmp/test.mp3KDCnKF'

		         width='100%' height='40'  type='audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin'

		         controls='ControlPanel,StatusBar' pluginspage='www.real.com'

		         autostart='True' loop='0'> 
	</embed>

see the source ! /tmp/test.mp3KDCnKF and the player dont start cause its not an MP3 file.

thankx in advance,

i used this code, and it working great. but the file is not playing. i don't know way !!

PHP Code:

            rename($tmpfile, substr($tmpfile, 0, -6));
            if(file_exists(substr($tmpfile, 0, -6)))
                $filevars['FILEURL'] = substr($tmpfile, 0, -6);
            else
                $filevars['FILEURL'] = "error"; 

the source i get back is this :

HTML Code:

	<embed name='avplayer'

		         src='/tmp/demo___aw3edak.rm'

		         width='100%' height='40'  type='audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin'

		         controls='ControlPanel,StatusBar' pluginspage='www.real.com'

		         autostart='True' loop='0'> 
	</embed>
