xmoov setup - PLEASE HELP

Posted: Aug 9, 2010

Hi everybody.
I've been reading and trying to understand how to use xmoov.php for about 1 week now and I don't manage yet too much.
My problem is quite simple:
1. Can I use xmoov.php for streaming from another server that hosts my flv's files?. I didn't used metadata on configuration of the flv. I'm trying only to make them play on FlowPlayer.
2. How to setup these 2 variables:

Example:

// points to server root
define('XMOOV_PATH_ROOT', 'http://127.0.0.1');

// points to the folder containing the video files. Should start and end with '/'
define('XMOOV_PATH_FILES', '/asdidelknfnafwaertwtgadfskgjagdfg/');

And my file is: nana.flv.
I receive this message:

ERROR: xmoov-php could not find http://127.0.0.1/asdidelknfnafwaertwtgadfskgjagdfg/nana.flv) please check your settings.

If I copy the link from the error and put it in a new tab on the browser, the download starts immediately.

If you can write some html code for the player, for me to try to figure out how to do this, I will really appreciate it.

P.S. I've tried provider: http, lighttpd and pseudo-streaming and they are all accepted. The player works fine, but I'm trying to use xmoov to protect my links.

Thank you in advance.
Respectfully, Valchy

Change this

define('XMOOV_PATH_ROOT', 'http://127.0.0.1');

To this

Linux:
define('XMOOV_PATH_ROOT', '/path/to/webroot');

windows:

define('XMOOV_PATH_ROOT', 'C:path owebroot');

XMOOV provides pseudo streaming by reading in the file itself as such it needs the physical file path, not the path as it appears from the webserver.

But that's on the same server, right?

But valchy talks about another server:

1. Can I use xmoov.php for streaming from another server that hosts my flv's files?. I didn't used metadata on configuration of the flv. I'm trying only to make them play on FlowPlayer.

I'd say, pseudostreaming without injecting metadata won't work. Unless, of course, valchy meant to say something completely different altogether ;-)

Hi and thanks for the answers. On Flowplayer instructions says that if the flv file doesn't have metadata will not work for seeking and it will behave like a normal http. That's what I try to do. The webserver isn't on my computer. The files are not on my computer, they are on a server like htttp://202.175.201. That's the address that appears me on download (example). I've tried a lot of solutions, something like home/www/202.175.201 but none of them worked.

Thanks for the help.
Best regards, Valchy
