What is the code that calls the file to be downloaded like the one once you press download. Trying to add media embedding

Playing media. Do you know what the file download code is?

this is what I have

Code: Select all

<?php echo $scripturl. "download.php?a=" . $filecrc . "&b=" . md5($foundfile[2].$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) ?>

File Download code? Do you mean the direct link to the uploaded file? ./download2.php is where a download link is generated, which enables the user to download a file. If you are trying to implement a video player or similar, you'll have to customise download2.php's HTML Headers' MEME type to application/x-shockwave-flash (for SWF) for example.

This have something to do with it?
"
$validdownload = 0;


$filecrc = $_GET['a'];
$filecrctxt = $filecrc.".dfh";
if (file_exists("./files/".$filecrctxt)) {
$fh = fopen ("./files/".$filecrctxt,r);
$thisline= explode('|', fgets($fh));
if ($thisline[0]==$_GET['a'] && md5($thisline[2].$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])==$_GET['b'])
$validdownload=$thisline;
fclose($fh);"

Nope, this part in ./download2.php:

Code: Select all

header('Content-type: application/octetstream');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize("./storage/".$validdownload[0]));
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$validdownload[1].'"');
readfile("./storage/".$validdownload[0]);

Basically, I'd recommend the user to click on "Download Now" (in which you can modify the template e.g. DL Now to "Play Now" button), where afterwards a generated ID for download2.php is generated, and a video player can be implemented and links to the generated ID e.g. download2.php?a=839Video.mp4&b=75e216be623ac45ffbc88f8332da9060 which should play the requested video.

Nevertheless, I am unsure whether or not you'll have to change the Content-type from application/octetstream to the appropriate content type.
