Using php to hide video embed urls?

Post by Tom45 »

I'm looking for a way to hide embeded videos urls completely. Specifically megarotic. I've found one script that lets you do it with a data base but it was very very pricey. What it does though is runs the video through a embeded player on my site instead of theres and encrypts the url using xml I believe. If anyone knows of a script out there thats cheap or if anyones willing to make me this code. I am willing to pay for it.

Once it's at the client (my computer) I have it and no amount of shenanigans will deter a motivated person from copying your content. You must determine during serverside execution if the client is worthy of your content.

I'm not worried about people stealing the content. It's I don't want them to be able to find the source url for it.

I could pm you a example of what I'm talking about.

you could just do something like storing the url to the content in a database, then have a file to include the it using file_get_contents(); so you embed file will be something like file.php?videoid=6 and it will get the URL for entry number 6 and then include it... just make sure you set the right headers...
