I'm trying to directly play a video that is located on remote server (www.nowvideo.eu in this example), get video direct URL using curl() and preg_match(), and then using the download script found here directly present that .php file as the video file itself.
Downloading video works, but when I try to add a param 'file=video_file.php' to jwplayer I get this error: "Task Queue failed at step 5: Playlist could not be loaded due to crossdomain policy restrictions." I have a crossdomain.xml file, it is set to allow access from all domains, but I don't know why is it even important since video_file.php is on the same domain as play.php (which contains jw player code).
Here is the code for video_file.php:
<?php
$url = 'http://www.nowvideo.eu/video/qdu0vx7m3m3xd';
$content = curl($url);
preg_match('%video/(.[^/]*+)%', $url, $videoID);
preg_match('/filekey="(.[^\"]*?)"/',$content,$key);
$key = str_replace('"','',$key[0]);
$video_data = 'http://www.nowvideo.eu/api/player.api.php?user=undefined&pass=undefined&file='.$videoID[1].'&key='.$key;
$content_key = curl($video_data);
preg_match('/url=(.[^&]*+)/',$content_key,$file);
$file = str_replace('url=','',$file[0]);
download($file,2000);
/*
Set Headers
Get total size of file
Then loop through the total size incrementing a chunck size
*/
function download($file,$chunks){
set_time_limit(0);
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: video/x-flv');
header('Content-disposition: inline; filename='.basename($file));
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Pragma: public');
$size = get_size($file);
header('Content-Length: '.$size);
$i = 0;
while($i<=$size){
//Output the chunk
get_chunk($file,(($i==0)?$i:$i+1),((($i+$chunks)>$size)?$size:$i+$chunks));
$i = ($i+$chunks);
}
}
function curl($url){
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $result;
}
//Callback function for CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, This is what prints the chunk
function chunk($ch, $str) {
print($str);
return strlen($str);
}
//Function to get a range of bytes from the remote file
function get_chunk($file,$start,$end){
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $file);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RANGE, $start.'-'.$end);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, 'chunk');
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
}
//Get total size of file
function get_size($url){
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true);
curl_exec($ch);
$size = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD);
return intval($size);
}
?>
Here is the code for play.php:

Code for crossdomain.xml (located on root):

Any ideas?
