MP4 Streaming PHP Script Help!

Hello, I found this really nice MP4 Streaming PHP Script online and I just need some help so i can grab videos from remote url's instead of inside the server. For example, right now it only grabs from mydomain.com/video.mp4 but i would like to make it grab the video from differentdomain.com/video.mp4

How do i do this? I don't mind sending you $5 if you have a fix for this. Here's the script:

1. <?php
2. $file = 'video360p.mp4';
3. $fp = @fopen($file, 'rb');
4. $size = filesize($file); // File size
5. $length = $size; // Content length
6. $start = 0; // Start byte
7. $end = $size - 1; // End byte
8. header('Content-type: video/mp4');
9. //header("Accept-Ranges: 0-$length");
10. header("Accept-Ranges: bytes");
11. if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'])) {
12. $c_start = $start;
13. $c_end = $end;
14. list(, $range) = explode('=', $_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'], 2);
15. if (strpos($range, ',') !== false) {
16. header('HTTP/1.1 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable');
17. header("Content-Range: bytes $start-$end/$size");
18. exit;
19. }
20. if ($range == '-') {
21. $c_start = $size - substr($range, 1);
22. }else{
23. $range = explode('-', $range);
24. $c_start = $range[0];
25. $c_end = (isset($range[1]) && is_numeric($range[1])) ? $range[1] : $size;
26. }
27. $c_end = ($c_end > $end) ? $end : $c_end;
28. if ($c_start > $c_end || $c_start > $size - 1 || $c_end >= $size) {
29. header('HTTP/1.1 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable');
30. header("Content-Range: bytes $start-$end/$size");
31. exit;
32. }
33. $start = $c_start;
34. $end = $c_end;
35. $length = $end - $start + 1;
36. fseek($fp, $start);
37. header('HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content');
38. }
39. header("Content-Range: bytes $start-$end/$size");
40. header("Content-Length: ".$length);
41. $buffer = 1024 * 8;
42. while(!feof($fp) && ($p = ftell($fp)) <= $end) {
43. if ($p + $buffer > $end) {
44. $buffer = $end - $p + 1;
45. }
46. set_time_limit(0);
47. echo fread($fp, $buffer);
48. flush();
49. }
50. fclose($fp);
51. exit();
52. ?>

$file = 'http://somedomain.com/video.mp4';

You also need to configure your php.ini "allow_url_fopen" to be enabled.

If from a remote server you ha
ve 2 choices.

1.) Have the browser pull it directly from the remote stream.

2.) Pull the file locally (on request) this can be done using or in PHP.

3.) Manually save them locally and refer to that rather than pulling them on demand each time.

2/3 the remote server will see you pulling these files, i'd use 1 and if they are allowing it stream it from their url.

Example of HTML5 implementation



if you wanted to show the videos from a different domain you could also use CNAME depending on the configuration they have at their end.
