Live Video Stream

[Ninjakreborn]

OK here is the issue. I am trying to setup some Amazon S3 usage. I have it going really well currently (I mean I can do anything with photo's) but I am having trouble getting raw code for videos to stream.  I am basically doing this...

<?php
function test($filename = 'niceday.wmv') {
	$filename = basename($filename);
	$file_extension = strtolower(substr(strrchr($filename,"."),1));

	switch($file_extension) {
		case "mp3": $ctype="audio/mpeg"; break;
		case "wav": $ctype="audio/x-wav"; break;
		case "mpeg":
		case "mpg":
		case "mpe": $ctype="video/mpeg"; break;
		case "mov": $ctype="video/quicktime"; break;
		case "avi": $ctype="video/x-msvideo"; break;	
		case "wmv": $ctype="video/wmv"; break;
	}		
	//Use the switch-generated Content-Type
	header("Content-Type: $ctype");	

	echo $this->s3_get_file('niceday.wmv', 'theendlesstribute_tributevideos');
}
?>

This is in codeignitor. Right now this tries to stream me a text file with the raw video source code. I am trying this on a WMV file. I am basically needing this function to get a video

from S3 and then using the code generate a file internally that can be called..say I have a video player...I want to have it setup and call this test function and have it work properly...

does that make any sense?

 

What is the best way to go about doing this?
