bypass controller and modify headers for flv output - El Forum - 09-29-2008
[eluser]alectrash[/eluser]
I want to have on my site the url
www.mydomain.com/video/view/a-lake
which upon being requested basically does this
Code:
//query db to get filename and filesize where file id is "a-lake" (simple)
echo 'header("Content-Type: video/x-flv")';
echo 'header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . $filename . '")';
echo 'header("Content-Length: "' . $filesize .')';When this is working in another file I want to send the url to a jeroenwijering player like so:
Code:
...
s1.addVariable("file", encodeURIComponent(http://www.mydomain.com/video/a-lake));
...I am storing videos above root directory hence why i'm doing it this way.
I tried creating a controller video with function view which output the headers but they juts came out as text.
I tried looking at hooks but dont know if thats right place to look?

You shouldn't need to echo the headers. You're just setting them.. Change your code to:
Code:
header("Content-Type: video/x-flv");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"" . $filename . '"');
header("Content-Length: " . $filesize);and see if it works.
