bypass controller and modify headers for flv output
#1

[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 just came out as text. I looked at kaging but to no avail.

I tried looking at hooks but dont know if thats right place to look?

a) make sure you're not sending any other output before the headers.
b) check your webserver config to make sure it knows what to do with video/x-flv

[edit] scrap that, I didn't notice that you were using echo to set the headers!

Hello,

don't use "echo" to send your headers :

Code:
header("Content-Type: video/x-flv");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$filename\"");
header("Content-Length: " . $filesize .")";

To make sure there is nothing output already, best to clear the output buffer.

Code:
while (@ob_end_clean());
    
    header("Content-Type: video/x-flv");
    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$filename\"");
    header("Content-Length: " . $filesize .")";
    
    echo $whatever;

    die();
