rondog Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I have question. I created a flash video player that is being used for teaching purposes. The videos are called in flash through an XML file. I notice in firebug, I can see what FLV's are being downloaded. Is their something in PHP I can do to hide these filenames?

discomatt Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 No, if you want the end user to view it you must stream the information to them. The FLV player is run client-side, so the client must know the location of the file.

Daniel0 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 The ever returning question... It's funny how people wish to restrict people from viewing something when viewing is necessary to the functionality. My usual analogy used in this instance is that you cannot read a book which is in the room next to you, it has to be where you are. Likewise does the content has to be downloaded to the user's computer before it can be displayed to them.

rondog Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 I know its impossible to completely hide the data, but I know their are ways of making it more difficult to get to. Take www.purevolume.com for example. If you dont know what it is, its a site where bands can have their music and it streams through pure volumes mp3 player. Now when you click on a song in the player, a file is streamed that looks like this: http://s57.purevolume.com/streams4/rTu2gdOabzt9521k4WnDCUNm21bOJItxWji-/6710915228056e60f8a61ac856c71f6a092219fa8a how could I do something like that rather than firebug showing http://s57.purevolume.com/streams4/somefile.flv Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/100368-hiding-flvs/#findComment-517107 Share on other sites More sharing options...
