POHow do you hide the url of the .flv file in a flash player?

Body
copied!<p>I use expiring urls to hide the urls of images I use on my sites, so that they can only be hotlinked for the duration of the life of the hash (1 hour).</p> <p>I check the hash sent with the file url, against a hash on the server, if they match, the script calls the following code:</p> <pre><code>if (isset($_GET["hash"])) { $this_min = date('Y-m-d-g',time()) . "salt" . $vid_id; $current_hash = substr(md5($this_min),0,12); $submitted_hash = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET["hash"]); if ("$current_hash" == "$submitted_hash") { $file_url2 = "directory/" . $vid_file; header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream'); header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary"); header("Content-disposition: inline; filename=\"".md5($vid_file)."\""); readfile($file_url2); exit; } else { $_SESSION["message"] = "Download link expired, refresh the page and try again"; $_SESSION["message_type"] = 0; header("Location:" . $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']); exit; } } </code></pre> <p>I use this in an tag (for example, <code><img src="index.php?id=123&hash=ew6rg5reg4"></code>and it works perfectly. If the image is hotlinked, it will stop working when the hash changes, every hour (or minute if necessary). Unfortunately, this same method doesn't work when I use it to load .flv files into a flash player, such as the JW player . No .flv file is loaded. </p> <p>Any way I can fix this or achieve the same thing with an alternate method?</p>
