Playing Video

[ctcmedia]

Hi,

 

Here is my problem. I have a streaming service that works ok for using a dynamic database passing a variable from an external source. But what I want to do is stream from a local server but using a devise called flvstreamer. The reason why I cannot really plugin the service into my existing program is because it is written in perl although I know the basics this is too complicated to start mashing around

 

Here is what I think will work (still need help)

 

<?php
header('Content-type: video/x-flv');

$url = $_GET['vidUrl'];

exec('/home/public/flvstreamer' , '--host $url');

?>

 

Now it should be that simple but the system is not executing the video and I donot know what the problems are.

 

 

Could anyone give any tips or advise all is greatly appreciated
