Re: Serving Videos with LC/iRev

Hi Stephen, Hmm.. that’s rather disturbing for security isn’t it. So much for PHP. That’s why it’s best not to set up PHP to be able to be used on servers. Thanks for the information. Rick > On Nov 28, 2016, at 4:44 PM, Stephen Barncard wrote: > > FYI the PHP forums

Hi Mark, Well I was trying to talk in black-box terms here, but I can see that isn’t sufficient information for you as inquiring minds always want to know. It really shouldn’t hurt if I reveal the third party anyway. I have an enhanced eBook with an embedded video in it. I was able to publish

Re: Serving Videos with LC/iRev

Hi Rick, yes, yes, I know, I was plugging the player because it's so extensible and it uses a playlist, but there's ways to use Apache to allow local executables like livecode server (but not Joe Web User) to access directories ABOVE the website root from script. and if any 'address' would be

Hi Stephen, Thanks for the link to the video player. However when I look at the page source code I see: http://media.barncard.com/video/joni-cbc.png; /> jwplayer.key="XLyrcd150kfRyTFsfsheTexshhjaa431eedjs=="; I altered the key here for security reasons before posting

Re: Serving Videos with LC/iRev

Hi Rick, That third party must have an API for it. If not, you need to change the vendor. I can't be that e.g. Apple sells music, while everybody is able to download the content once it has been bought by one person. Can you tell the name of that third party? Kind regards, Mark Schonewille

Re: Serving Videos with LC/iRev

Hi Phil, One can hide real URLs in the browser URL box, and I’ve done that before. The problem is that if someone looks at the page source code that’s in the browser, then the real URL is revealed. I need a language that doesn’t reveal it’s source code in the browser. I thought that iRev/LC

Re: Serving Videos with LC/iRev

Hi Rick, You can alter URLs using a .htaccess file on the server. e.g. When a person goes to "http://my.site.com/1234/video.html; they see "http://my.site.com/show; in the browser URL box. I've never done it but I'm sure someone here could comment on this approach. I'm thinking there's

Re: Serving Videos with LC/iRev

Hi Mark, That sounds good except that the user is purchasing from me through a third party and I have no good way of validating. I can attach a number to the URL but that same number will be on every unit purchased and visible to the user. I can’t make it unique for every unit purchased.

Re: Serving Videos with LC/iRev

Instead of hiding the URL, you could write a script that creates a key depending on user credentials and a unique number, say the time, and add it to the URL. The code should follow some some rules, e.g. the last part of the code could be a hash. Encrypt the information in your app and decrypt

Serving Videos with LC/iRev

Hi there, I have a video I want to serve from an LC/iRev Server. I want to do it from within an iRev script on the LC Server so that the URL of the video is hidden in the code from the user if possible. Basically I want people who pay me to see my video to be able to view my video, but I don’t
