contactskn 2 Report post Posted August 1, 2009 Dear friends I know the program to play a .swf video and we can handle the filename from MYSQL as a field, retrieve it by using PHP and use it to play the specified video.?? ? ?But I faced a problem recently and that is - I would like to save some video files in a folder say "vid" then want to play them one after another. The file names here may be saved in a MySql database.?? ? ? More over if possible I would like them to stream at a fixed time say 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. That is to say the videos or video should automatically start playing at the server side and end playing at 9 p.m. If possible it could not be interupted by any user. Please help me if possible. Thanks in advance dear friends.? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is, if you can nevertheless play them without moving them, then just add their file names to the database and (if you don't have one already) make a column that marks these files "special." Then make a script that loads on the front page (or wherever you want the video to play) that keeps track of server's time and that'll only display or "echo" the video player within that time. But due to what you want implies, this means that you'll have to find other methods of skipping ahead in the video if you want the video's play time to match the server's time. Otherwise, these videos will always start from the beginning whenever a user visits between 8 and 9 P.M.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
