Video in PHP

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I am researching setting up an application in PHP where it would play
various videos.

I played with PHP and Totem but it didn't work exactly as planned.

This code got the videos playing
<snip>
exec("totem --fullscreen million_dollar_weekend.mpeg");
exec("totem --fullscreen we_use_power_edit.mp4");
</snip>

The problem here is that when the video stops totem stays open and
therefore my script does not realize that it is time to play the next
video.

Does anyone have any ideas how to get them to stop properly?

Is there another/better player than totem? Videolan does not have the
level of command line control that totem does.

Is there a pcntl function that might do the trick?

I could keep a list of the videos and lengths and then have my script
issue a kill comand once the length of time plus some play time has
ellapsed.

Thanks,
