I've finally got it working.
As mentioned in my previous post, the web player always fails my authentication (e.g. is the user/leecher logged in?). So, I make a new mechanism to view the content:
In the controller `Contents`
Code:
function view_content($content_id) {
$this->load->helper('string');
$random_string = random_string('alnum',32); // the challenge response code
$data['contsrc'] = site_url('general/get_content/'.$content_id.'/'.$random_string); //content source
// uri plus challenge response code
$this->session->set_userdata('view_content_challenge_code', $random_string);
$this->load->view('view_content_video'); //let's assume the currently available contents is only video
}
In the controller `General`
Code:
function get_content($id,$challenge) {
$this->load->model('ContentModel');
$authOK = ($challenge === $this->session->userdata('view_content_challenge_code')); // does the code match?
$this->session->unset_userdata('view_content_challenge_code'); // no second chance
if ($authOK) {
$contentdata = $this->ContentModel->getContentData($id);
force_download($contentdata['full_path']); // using improved force download from Wilker
// http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/71192/
}
}
This code works because the `General` controller is accessible by anybody.
Content link example:
Code:
http://example.com/general/get_content/5/asdlfjdKJHDFKJDHFDJSL9823FLSAKDJ
Assuming the session is correct, the above code will return the content with id 5. However, the next call with the same challenge code will return nothing.
