Hi, I have embedded a media player on my page with the html pasted below, and modified my .htaccess file to redirect this /aa/bb/cc.wmv to a php file... My php file (used below) does nothing, but logs the requests+checks access, opens the actual .wmv file and prints it out. The problem when I use the following code is that, media player (for some reason) sends 2 requests to the source (http://www.mydomain.com/aa/bb/cc.wmv) to show this instead of one, the first one reads something like 65K, then it sends the second request to retrieve the whole file... I checked it in various ways (verified that it is not because of .htaccess, my code!), but could not figure out why. And, 2 requests come within 1 second difference (the server is on a local network). Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and how I can avoid this double request? Your help is definitely appreciated since I am out of answers here;) Here is my html code: <object ID="RTVPlay" classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701"; standby="Reklam yükleniyor lütfen bekleyiniz..." type="application/x-oleobject"> <param NAME="FileName" Value="http://www.mydomain.com/aa/bb/cc.wmv";></param> <param NAME="ShowControls" VALUE="1"> </param> <param NAME="ShowDisplay" VALUE="0"> </param> <param NAME="ShowStatusBar" VALUE="0"> </param> <param NAME="AutoSize" VALUE="0"> </param> <param NAME="AutoStart" VALUE="true"> </param> <param NAME="Volume" VALUE="0"> </param> <param NAME="pluginspage" VALUE="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/Downloads/Contents/Products/MediaPlayer/";></param> <embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/Downloads/Contents/Products/MediaPlayer/"; filename="http://www.mydomain.com/aa/bb/cc.wmv"; name="RTVPlay" ShowControls="1" ShowDisplay="0" ShowStatusBar="0" width="355" height="337" AutoSize="1" AutoStart="true" volume="1000"> </embed> </object> For those of you who want to do this (load a media file via php), two tips (it took hours for me to figure these out, not to mention the whole frustration;): - First of all, if the source filename/url does not end with .wmv (i.e. if you have /aa/bb/cc.php), Windows Media Player plugin craps out and the following html code shows nothing, and it took a serious while to figure this out;) - When Windows Media Player sends the request, it does not send any cookies... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
