PHP - About Video Web

In my php web site the video player appears and plays the video. In Chrome you can right click on the player screen and choose 'inspect element' etc, but another choice is 'Copy video URL'. How can I block that, or hide (or disguise/rename) video URLs?

Hi guys,

My first post here. I would like to seek you guys help about playing video from mysql. I wanted to upload video to database and also play it inside my webpage using the media player format.

Thank in advance

Hi

I am having an issue searching videos from youtube when ever I do a search i keep getting an page not found error.

here is my code

Code: [Select]
<?

So i have a large video files, 1.5 gigs even.
I made an html5 video player where the source is a php file.
The php file is supposed to go below the web root and serve the video file to the html5 video tag.

This all works just fine if the video using a script that uses HTTP_RANGE to serve the file in parts to the client.
The problem is, once one video is playing - i can't do anything else.  Its like the server locks up. I mean i can scrub that video, i can do anything to that page.  I just can't navigate away.  But i can open a new browser and play a new video.  But again, once that first one is playing, or even paused, i can't do anything else.

That is of course until i restart apache.

Any ideas on how to stream these large files better? I have a feeling they are set to stream and never stop.
This is the code for that

Code: [Select]
function rangeDownload($file) {
 
$fp = @fopen($file, 'rb');
 
$size   = filesize($file); // File size
$length = $size;           // Content length
$start  = 0;               // Start byte
$end    = $size - 1;       // End byte
// Now that we've gotten so far without errors we send the accept range header
/* At the moment we only support single ranges.
* Multiple ranges requires some more work to ensure it works correctly
* and comply with the spesifications: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec19.html#sec19.2
*
* Multirange support annouces itself with:
* header('Accept-Ranges: bytes');
*
* Multirange content must be sent with multipart/byteranges mediatype,
* (mediatype = mimetype)
* as well as a boundry header to indicate the various chunks of data.
*/
header("Accept-Ranges: 0-$length");
// header('Accept-Ranges: bytes');
// multipart/byteranges
// http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec19.html#sec19.2
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'])) {
 
$c_start = $start;
$c_end   = $end;
// Extract the range string
list(, $range) = explode('=', $_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'], 2);
// Make sure the client hasn't sent us a multibyte range
if (strpos($range, ',') !== false) {
 
// (?) Shoud this be issued here, or should the first
// range be used? Or should the header be ignored and
// we output the whole content?
header('HTTP/1.1 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable');
header("Content-Range: bytes $start-$end/$size");
// (?) Echo some info to the client?
exit;
}
// If the range starts with an '-' we start from the beginning
// If not, we forward the file pointer
// And make sure to get the end byte if spesified
if ($range == '-') {
 
// The n-number of the last bytes is requested
$c_start = $size - substr($range, 1);
}
else {
 
$range  = explode('-', $range);
$c_start = $range[0];
$c_end   = (isset($range[1]) && is_numeric($range[1])) ? $range[1] : $size;
}

header('HTTP/1.1 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable');
header("Content-Range: bytes $start-$end/$size");
// (?) Echo some info to the client?
exit;
}
$start  = $c_start;
$end    = $c_end;
$length = $end - $start + 1; // Calculate new content length
fseek($fp, $start);
header('HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content');
}
// Notify the client the byte range we'll be outputting
header("Content-Range: bytes $start-$end/$size");
header("Content-Length: $length");
 
// Start buffered download
$buffer = 1024 * 8;
while(!feof($fp) && ($p = ftell($fp)) <= $end) {
 
if ($p + $buffer > $end) {
 
// In case we're only outputtin a chunk, make sure we don't
// read past the length

}
set_time_limit(0); // Reset time limit for big files
echo fread($fp, $buffer);
flush(); // Free up memory. Otherwise large files will trigger PHP's memory limit.
}
 
fclose($fp);
 
}

Ok, this is killing me, So I'm finally asking for help.

I'm working on a website, which streams videofiles from external links.

The site plays & allows you to download the videos from the same external link. I need to mask the url of these videos.

At the moment, I have successfully masked the url when downloading. If you click the download image, rather than the path being http://externalsite.com/videofile.avi

its http://mysitename.com/external.php?id=xx&mid=xx

So that is nicely hidden.

However, I am having a problem when it comes to the embedded player on the page. At the moment i am using flowplayer for flv & mp4 videos, and just the usual embed for avi videos.

Flow players embed code is like this

---------------------------------------------------
<a
   href="<?=$videoFile?>"
   style="display:block;width:740px;height:400px;"
   id="player">
</a>

<script language="JavaScript">

flowplayer("player", "<?=url::base()?>flowplayer-3.2.5.swf", {
    clip:  {
        autoPlay: false,
        autoBuffering: true
    }
});
</script>
-----------------------------------------

At the moment, the player only works if i put the url in this format: http://externalsite.com/videofile.avi

and wont work in this format

http://mysitename.com/external.php?id=xx&mid=xx


all download.php does is check the file exists, sets the headers and prompts users to open or save. Why isnt this working with the player?

Please see the attached external.php file for my heade info etc to hopefully shed some light on this

I am practicing php with a local server running and I created a class that uses curl to open pages, fetch the html, put it into a DOMDocument, parse it, etc...I began following links and downloading images and checking their mime types so I know how to handle it.  There isn't really much information about doing it with video files though like mpeg, mov, etc...When I try simply following the link and downloading it locally it works, but I get no mime type, or a wierd mime type that doesn't make sense and it will only store a blank file (but it all downloads ok) I just can't play it.  Anybody know anything about doing video stuff with php?

The web video script that I'm using, and trying to modify, works successfully integrating a watermark in the upper left corner of the video file, (so that when it's downloaded, the watermark stays on the video). In the ffmpeg php file code below, the watermarking starts with this line

$watermark_image_full_path = "watermark.png";

at line 275 (out of 504 - about halfway).

I am wondering if there might be a way to make the watermark also display briefly in another location on the video again, maybe halfway through, when playing it.

Hi, i am trying to stream a video from Rackspace clould files account. I could simply get the url of the video file and stream the video using the php api they have provided. But they have provided a stream function which they suggest to be used for video streaming or for large images.

Here is the code of the api :

    /**
         * Streaming read of Object's data
         *
         * Given an open PHP resource (see PHP's fopen() method), fetch the Object's
         * data and write it to the open resource handle.  This is useful for
         * streaming an Object's content to the browser (videos, images) or for
         * fetching content to a local file.
         *
         * Pass in $hdrs array to set specific custom HTTP headers such as
         * If-Match, If-None-Match, If-Modified-Since, Range, etc.
         *
         * Example:
         * <code>
         * # ... authentication/connection/container code excluded
         * # ... see previous examples
         *
         * # Assuming this is a web script to display the README to the
         * # user's browser:
         * #
         * <?php
         * // grab README from storage system
         * //
         * $my_docs = $conn->get_container("documents");
         * $doc = $my_docs->get_object("README");
         *
         * // Hand it back to user's browser with appropriate content-type
         * //
         * header("Content-Type: " . $doc->content_type);
         * $output = fopen("php://output", "w");
         * $doc->stream($output); # stream object content to PHP's output buffer
         * fclose($output);
         * ?>
         *
         * # See read() above for a more simple example.
         * #
         * </code>
         *
         * @param resource $fp open resource for writing data to
         * @param array $hdrs user-defined headers (Range, If-Match, etc.)
         * @return string Object's data
         * @throws InvalidResponseException unexpected response
         */
        function stream(&$fp, $hdrs=array())
        {
            list($status, $reason) =
                    $this->container->cfs_http->get_object_to_stream($this,$fp,$hdrs);
            #if ($status == 401 && $this->_re_auth()) {
            #    return $this->stream($fp, $hdrs);
            #}
            if (($status < 200) || ($status > 299
                    && $status != 412 && $status != 304)) {
                throw new InvalidResponseException("Invalid response (".$status."): "
                    .$reason);
            }
            return True;
        }


Here is the sample code they shared :

    $output = fopen("test.jpg", "w");
      $pic->stream($output);
      fclose($output);


If i echo the $pic variable, it just contains the name of the file. How do i display the image and how do i use this for streaming a video? Iam very new to php, so kindly help me. Thanks.

Hello there,

I am going around and thinking of this is possible. Let's say I have a flash video player or something, and the thing I want to do is, that when the flash video is DONE playing, a PHP script/function will be made. How can that be done?

I guess it should be a little bit like Lockerz. You know, when the video is done, you get credited. Any suggestions?

Regards.

Hi my website offers the users to buy the videos. But the hackers are stealing my video links through view source. So there any option to hide my video links in view source and firebug etc..My videos are comign from amazon. and we are using JW  Players to play the videos
    The methods i have tried..
    1)Encode and decode the urls still the embed tag displays the complete path in firebug.
    2)Amazon provide signed url(temporary url)-Still have some problem in this..
    3)call the video through ajax call. Still the complete HTML code will be displayed in the firebug.
   
    please check here i have attached the firebug sample how it displays the code. Here we can find the complete video path in file: attribute in embed tag
   
    Is there any to hide the urls

i need to load advertisemtn and after that video.
how it is possible to do example link is belove.
i need to load random commercials on random vidoes.
please guide me
thanks

I had a similar posting regarding positioning of a 2nd watermark on an uploaded video. I have resoled that successfully - thanks again for the help.

Now, the watermarks look clear/sharp on a small screen, but when the screen is enlarged the images don't seem as sharp/clear.  What is the trick? Solution? Is it to have a large image to begin with? The watermark.png currently is 98px w by 16px h. Here is a portion of the file code:

 

$watermark_image_full_path = "watermark.png";

                    if (!empty($duration_file['playtime_seconds']) && $duration_file['playtime_seconds'] > 0) {
                        $video_time = round((10 * round($duration_file['playtime_seconds'],0)) / 100,0);
                        $video_time = '-t '.$video_time.'  -async 1';
                        $have_demo = true;

When I play a video (that is blocked from being downloaded as a file from a php web script player that I'm using) I can see the url address of the file from my PC in dev tools > networking > media, Is there a way to block or scramble the video's url from being available to be copied? If not, is there a way to have that url be available only if the potential viewer is 'logged-in' to the web site? Or some type of authentication based on checking for a user's PHP temp session file before allowing access from the video's url?

Hi everyone,   I'm hoping the someone can guide me in the right direction for what I need to do. Does anyone know of a really good tutorial and/or information about a plugin product that is available to do what I need? For example, what I need is to create a website that has the ability to allow video conferencing between a teacher and students. This what I envision - a college professor can log on to his website and display a live video feed of him. Also, as each of his students log on, their live video feed is then also supplied. Would prefer a already made plugin product but would also like to look at raw code in PHP to see how something like this could be accomplished. Thank you in advance.   Charles  

Hey everyone!   I have a question about handling video files. Are there classes available for handling videos? I've found classes to handle images and I was wondering if there is something similar for videos.   I'm asking because I want to allow users to upload videos, but I want to reduce their resolution (take up less space). The video is intended to play in a small section on the page, so it doesn't require high resolution.   I'll appreciate any help. Thanks!
