Hi,
I have embedded a media player on my page with the html pasted below, and modified my .htaccess file to redirect this /aa/bb/cc.wmv to a php file...
My php file (used below) does nothing, but logs the requests+checks access, opens the actual .wmv file and prints it out. The problem when I use the following code is that, media player (for some reason) sends 2 requests to the source (http://www.mydomain.com/aa/bb/cc.wmv) to show this instead of one, the first one reads something like 65K, then it sends the second request to retrieve the whole file... I checked it in various ways (verified that it is not because of .htaccess, my code!), but could not figure out why. And, 2 requests come within 1 second difference (the server is on a local network).
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and how I can avoid this double request?
I think this has to do with streaming of the file. Media player might be checking on the file signature (maybe for DRM stuff?) then requesting the entire file.
