I have a case where video files (mov, flv, etc) have
been stored in a MySQL database as blobs.
I'm loading them into a flash video player and
everything works fine except it takes longer it seems
and it doesn't allow streaming the actual video.
If I load the same videos with a direct link to the
http:// file system (/videos/file.flv) it loads in
super-fast and allows streaming.
I'm guessing mysql and/or php doesn't actually release
the BLOB until it's loaded it completely.
So, is there a way to actually have PHP read the BLOB
and stream it as it's loading? Is there an fstream()
option like the fread()?
Wishful thinking?
