Download Helper issues

[eluser]quibstar[/eluser]
Having issues with down loading videos. Here is my code:

Code:

function download()
    {
        $this->load->helper('download');
        $name = $this->uri->segment(3);
        $path = '/Users/homdir/Sites/amwayss/videos/'.$this->uri->segment(3);
        $data = file_get_contents($path); // Read the file's content
        force_download($name, $data);            
    }

I just get a blank page when trying to down load .mov files. Other types work e.g wmv, flv and m4v.

Enable error displaying and post the error you get:

Code:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');

You are getting the black screen because in the $name var you are not specifing the file extension of the file
Do like this
$data = file_get_contents(BASEPATH."uploads\\4CGcjsVs\\454A5d01.pdf");
//echo $data;
$name="ggg.pdf";
echo force_download($name, $data);
